lalojamesliz · 04-23-2012, 08:11 PM

i recieved my rkh swashplate but when i install it the flybar and main blades are right on top of each other. keep taking it apart and going off the images from here
http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/Pr...ProdID=BLH3180 but the only way i can screw everything in and have the main blades and flybar not lined up with eachother is if i have the flybar upside down.

am i doing something wrong?

lalojamesliz · 04-23-2012, 08:52 PM

i had the guide for the links under the flybar upside down......

thank you for the great guy that helped me

dont worry bro. i did the same thing a while back. it took me like 4 tries to figure out what i did wrong!! hahahahaha!!

Imzzaudae · 04-23-2012, 09:48 PM

Drove me nuts, but got it figured out after a while.

lalojamesliz · 04-23-2012, 09:56 PM

thanks guys, now i feel better that im not alone on this. now that im done adjusting the servo arms its time for me to get ready to go to work

They really should put an "UP" arrow on that anti-rotation collar. I'll bet there are more folks than not who have installed that sucker upside down at least once.

Remember, if there's one wrong way and one right way to do something, you'll always do it the wrong way first...It's the law

So does the RKH - and that's the one I've got now as I'm also a member of the UDCC (Upside Down Collar Club)

SurferOfTheSkys · 04-24-2012, 06:58 AM

I belong to a new club!

Second. Raise my arm .

deesman · 04-24-2012, 11:29 AM

ok stupid question but i have to know, how do i tell if its upside down from what i can tell it looks the same either way but i am obviously wrong. i have taken mine apart once but to my knowledge have put it back together correctly...

Im sorry.. all anti rotation collar questions must now be submitted in triplicate to UDCC club president Heli-Cat.

They will be passed to committe and we will get back in 10 working days... unless of course the flying weather is good then your shit out of luck

Oh no....

BTW i believe its trial and error unless you mark it before you take it off

Will I have an oval office?....will I get to fly around in a helicopter?.......will there be interns in blue dresses?

Well, at least you got a 50/50 shot at getting it right!

Pfloyd · 04-25-2012, 07:17 AM
