And anchor them to the opposite side screws of the gyro platform. Flown it this way, it
works fine. Note the cleaner wiring this side also. All I did was reroute everything.
Which brings me to the SOLUTION for tail strikes and ALL this gear/parts BS:
Step-by-step to end of the chapter:
1) The tailrotor box is held in place with 2 weeny screws no bigger than a piece of a
toothpick! Vibration and floor smacks knock the whole rear rotor out of 90° alignment.
Lose those 2 little weeny screws that stick out the side of the tailrotor gearbox like cat
whiskers. Next, locate the 4 tiny (!!!) black screws that clamp the front tube of the box
onto the tailboom blue tube. Back them out enough for the 2 halves to seperate and
pull the whole thing away from the tail tube. Using very THIN masking tape (white
McKesson, which is used in hospitals) wrap the rear of the tube ONCE around... NO
overlap. Now position the tailrotor gearbox back onto the rear of tailboom tube and
reassemble/tighten the whole business back together... checking the 90 degree
alignment and gear mesh as you proceed.
