1. Check the tail drive belt tension by pressing on one
side of the belt with a screwdriver. With gentle pressure, it
should be possible to push the belt approximately as far as
the picture shows. If you can easily push the belt against
itself, it is too loose. If it does not deflect easily, then it is too
tight. If you need to adjust the belt tension, simply loosen the
screws shown and slide the tail boom in or out. When you
have the tension correct, retighten the screws. Recheck the
rudder pushrod adjustment.

2. Install the pinion onto the motor, and install the motor
in the helicopter.
❏
3. Be sure to set the gear mesh properly. This can be done
by pushing the pinion and spur together with a strip of typing
paper between them and tightening the motor screws. The
paper can then be removed by turning the gears to eject it.

3. Install the gyro directly under the main shaft. Connect
your rudder servo to the gyro’s output port.
Alternately, the gyro can be installed on top of the rear end
of the main frames. Use a piece of foam tape to isolate the
gyro against vibration, and secure it with a tie wrap.

4. Install the receiver in the position shown. Connect your
servos and gyro to the appropriate channels.
