When attaching the main blades, the direction of rota-

tion is clockwise, when looking on top of the helicopter.

Gyro

Having completed all the assembly for the helicopter, all

that remains is mounting the radio receiver, receiver battery and the gyro.

For mechanical gyros: mount below the main shaft on the gyro tray

For piezo gyros: mount inside the canopy

Install the gyro using double sided foam tape ( supplied with gyro )

put a full strip along the bottom of the gyro unit and press onto the surface.

For a good bond make sure both surfaces are clean and dry. For further

installation of the PG-01T gyro, see the next page.

Radio Components & Balancing

Balance is the most important part in maintaining a safe

and reliable helicopter. First check the blades for balance,

this can be done on a balancer but can be done directly on

the helicopter by tipping the helicopter on its side at the

edge of a table and attaching the blades with two 4x30mm

Socket Head Cap Screws and 4mm locknuts. Temporarily

remove the bolt to secure the autorotation bearing so the

head spins free ( remember to replace this bolt!! ). If one

blade stops at the same spot add some tape to the lighter

blade to balance the rotorhead. The same procedure can

be used to balance the flybar without the main blades

attached.

Balancing the Rotor Head & Attaching Main Blades

Receiver, Battery Pack and Gyro Controller

Using the foam rubber, wrap the battery pack, receiver and gyro

controller(mechanical type) separately, allowing wires to be collected and tied

together. Using two elastics looped through the front of the top servo tray,

secure the components to the two hooks on the lower servo tray. Depending

on your equipment, the gyro controller and switch can be mounted on the

provided bracket.

Note: the gyro tray in the behind the engine is for mount-

ing the mechanical style gyro, not for the piezo type.

Distance B

Flat Table Surface

Bolt the blades together and support by the ends of the

bolt off a flat surface. If one blade tips to one side add

small pieces of tracking tape until both blades hang an

equal distance from the table (Distance A = B). At-

tach the Main Blades to the helicopter using two

4x30mm Socket Head Cap Screws and M4 Locknuts.

**Blade Bolt tension on main blades should be set

by starting from loose blades, tighten the bolts a little

at a time until the blades will hold straight as the

helicopter is tipped on its side. Slightly tighter is

good. Too tight and a vibration will occur, too loose

and a boom strike can happen. Tail blades can be set

the same way.
