REPAIRINg YOUR WHIRLWIND 3000
• If the tail rotor disengages or breaks during flight gently pull off the damaged rotor.
Press on the new tail rotor included with your kit. Make sure the beveled side of
the rotor blades face toward the tail motor. Do not press the new tail rotor onto the
motor shaft too far or the motor will bind.
• Use Foam Safe glue to repair cracks or damage to the fuselage assembly.
• If any glued parts come loose, please use foam safe glue to reattach.
• If the stabilizer fly-bar breaks for any reason you can replace it. Start by removing the
stabilizer pushrods located on both sides of the fly-bar. Then remove the center steel
pin that holds the fly-bar to the main shaft. Install the new fly-bar onto the main
shaft. Reinsert the steel pin and make sure it locks into place. Then reattach the two
stabilizer pushrods.
TIP: Always use extra care when handling parts on the Whirlwind 3000. Take your
time and be patient. Remember that it is important to use as little additional
material for repair as possible. The Whirlwind 3000 is lightweight and balanced.
Make sure to always balance your Whirlwind 3000 after a repair. An example would
be if you glue parts on the fuselage and the Whirlwind 3000 seems to lean or go to
one side in flight, you can add similar weight to the other side for balance.
