4. Main rotor assembly
The main rotor is one of the most critical safety components of model helicopters.
Please proceed with caution.
Start with the positioning of the rotor head damping in the main rotor housing. First of
all, take the rotor head damping and add a small amount of lubricant in the area of
the rubber rings
(B-R14)
. Then press it into the main rotor housing until it is flush.
Secure the rotor head damping with the cylinder head bolts hex M3 x 12
(B-S31)
of the
SP-towing arms that are both tightened with one additional thrust washer 3x6x0.2
(B-P07)
each.
Then screw the carrier ball joint heads to the SP-towing arms. Use cylinder head
bolts hex M3 x 8
(B-S36)
. Make sure that the SP-towing arms point in the right direction
as shown in the pictures below and that the preferred direction for clipping on the ball
joints is correct (lettering facing to the outside).
