Started building the E325SE MT and I came across
2 items that I came across during the build
1) In assembling the Ball Links for the Head
It stated you could use the 1-1 diagrams (pg. 12)
for MM spread for each ball link by placing
the link on the Manual for size, NOT TRUE.
The measurements are out of scale by 3 to 4mm
2)The set screws for the Main shaft have an extra
hole, mid & bottom,for an addtional set screw,
I used both of these for better securing?

I’m not sure if this was correct, but it sure makes sense to me,
Put some T22 also on them. Any comments appreciated.

I know what you mean about the manual, I didn't use the ball link diagrams. I only used a caliper to get the links exactly the correct length. (This will help later when you level the swash)

The main shaft bolt is referred to as the "Jesus" bolt. Becuase if that bolt comes loose only JEsus will be able to save the heli...:P I only used one bolt, but two would be fine too. You definitely want to use T22 on that bolt and make sure to double-nut the bolt.
