What's the issue with getting the umbrella gear in? I just used my vice (with some soft balsa on each side to avoid marking the gear or casing). I didn't even have to rechamfer it, the small existing chamfer was enough.
I don't think it's a surprise (or an issue) that one needs a vice to assemble a heli (this kind of assembly is pretty common on some older models, and very common in mechanics in general).
Or is it that I was lucky and that some can't shove it in even with a vice... whatever, that mini press sure looks flimsy, no doubt I prefer the vice.
