7. General Notes on Mechanics Setup
Before starting to set up the mechanics, gather information on some important notes:
• Every model helicopter is only as good as its assembly. Therefore, assemble it carefully and precisely according to
instructions. Incorrectly or wrongly assembled model helicopters will not only fly much worse, they also pose a consider-
able safety risk.
• Comply with the assembly sketches in the manufacturer's handbook precisely for assembly.
Important!
Also observe that all metal screw connections must be fastened with special threadlocker varnish (not included).
Suitable threadlocker varnish is, e.g., Loctite 243 with medium hardness. To be able to loosen the screws again for
servicing, we advise against using threadlocker varnish with high hardness.
• Open the respective packaging bag only when the components are actually needed for the respective assembly section.
For this, place the individual components in a separate component holder (empty freezer box, etc.).
• Only perform the individual assembly steps after you have understood all the pending activities and know precisely which
component must be attached where.
• The included screws have different lengths and heads. Ensure that you install the right screws in the right places.
• Only use the material included with the construction set. Do not try to modify the model with additional and unsuitable
assembly material. In case of defect, replace the parts and components concerned only with genuine parts from the spare
parts list.
• Use high-quality assembly tools like a hexagon wrench with precisely ground and hardened screw drives. Cheap tools
tend to overturn and damages the screw heads.
• Only assemble the model helicopter on a suitable basis (soft cotton cloth, etc.) to protect the mechanics from scratches
and damage.
