Hi all, I am working on my first build and have a question that I can't find an answer to.
The tail boom has slots cut into it to assure that it sits correctly in the block, but the end of the boom that I am to attach the rear rotor has only a single hole.
How am I suppose to line up the tail rotor housing on the boom? Should I just eyeball it? It just seems that with such a precise machine, I would have to be sure it was dead on before I went for any final setup. Also, what is the hole for?
I read everything I could find but no one else seemed to have this question and I just want to be sure.
One thing I did notice was that some folks were having trouble feeding the belt through the boom. I thought I would share my solution to this problem. What I did was grab my fishing rod and feed the line through the boom with a leader attached. Then I just hooked the swivel to the belt and presto.
Anyway any help at all with the line up would be great. Thanks all.
