Checking the helicopter mechanics
Once you have assembled the helicopter with the necessary components as described in the previous chapters and
programmed the remote control, you now have to check the mechanics and adjust this.
a) Checking and setting the linkage rods
Check the linkage rods of the rotor head. For the required lengths of the individual rods (compare the numbers of ill. 13
and 14), refer to the illustration on the side or the diagram below.

b) Checking and setting the auxiliary paddles
Check whether the two paddles of the auxiliary rotor (1) have
the same distance to the paddle bridge (2) and are absolutely
parallel to each other. In addition, both paddles must also
be exactly parallel to the paddle bridge (2).
Note: Ill. 15 is a diagram for the main rotor that is not 100%
identical with your helicopter. Points A and B serve for
orientation and show the control rods for the pitch control.
