Well I alway thought flying a 90 heli would be challenging, but if it is as challenging as trying to follow the assembly manual I think I'll be better off selling it right now :arggg: :arggg: :arggg:
Thanks God I have my R60 to compare and try to figure out how things suppose to go!!!.
Well, I'm almost done already, but there are a lot of washers, screws and bits that I'll need to figure out where do they go before I take out of the working table, hopefully everything will sort out as I'm getting to the end.
Anyone had the same problem???
I still have a Bag N that it doesn't even shows in the assembly (unless they are nice enough to throw a little bag with some spares...)

Just take your time. You will get it. Post pics if you have questions.

Thanks Dog, I'll wait until I'm finished and then I'll see what do I have left, so far I've been dragging forward 4 of those tiny E locks, I got the 4 needed for the tail rotor pins (two each) and the 4 on the elevator A frames pins (2 each) unless they put few extras in case you drop them (since if you do they are goners) I have no idea where do they go, I have 4 plastic washers that I put 2 on the vertical fin between the fin and the gear box and 2 between the tail supports and the metal block (I guess to avoid metal to metal).

I decided not to go with the tail servo mount, instead I'm using the original front mounted system.
Because of that the push rod has that bend where the joint is, should I always use the 4 white plastic rod guides (and cover the nice Thunder Tiger logo on the boom :( ) or 3 of then like on the R60 would be ok???


Never mind, I got it solved

No carbon fiber push rod? Going cheap on me? :lol:

I was in London recently and spoke with a hobby shop there to order the Quick UK one but the guy said it's better to put the servo at the front to avoid getting it soaked in oil.

Its true, once you're doing inverted hovers more you'll notice a tailservo will be very oily after a flight :mrgreen:
