Drawing #17b

 

 

 

 


 

Don't forget this...

   

I preassembled this step before mounting it on the tailgear flange. 

 

Make sure the brass roller lines up properly.

   

Lines up perfectly.

 

Use shims #52 to remove end play.  Do a test spin, without main blades, to make sure the tail shaft is not moving laterally.

   

 
   

 

CRASH NOTES

Another part I always replace after a crash regardless of its survival is the tail shaft. (#217).  I also check the bearing #68 for smoothness. 

 

Check #346; make sure it's straight.  After several crashes I realized the tail slider was binding on the tail shaft and couldn't figure out why.  This part was the cause.
