a rubber band is cheap insurance against gyro falling off
| always use a filter before the carb, a t-filter makes refueling a breeze
| i padded my battery tray with thin foam tape, works great. nothing sliding off that.
| rx removed, battery is mounted with rubber bands

view of rubber bands going around the battery tray
| TT glow extenson instalation. this one was repaired twice now

| Skid bolts with washers replaces stock hardware

Notice modified carbon base plate
| Cyclic neutral, zero degrees pitch. note where frame pitch markings line up
| Throttle linkage at idle
| throttle linkage at mid stick (not nessicarily 50% throttle)
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |  |  |  |  |
Throttle linkage at full stick (100% throttle in this case)
| tail linkage horn at neutral stick in rate mode with no drift
| header tank tilted to clear tail struts.
| reciever antenna secured by weak rubber band, little strain on antenna
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |  |  |  |  |
antenna not "tied" to rubber band, so no loops
| electronics mounting. battery rubber banded & velcrod, rx velcroed, gov velcroed and rubberbanded
| low shot of electronis restraints. note antenna strain relief
| note where ball links are on servo horn, and that the horn is perpindicular at neutral cyclic
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |  |  |  |  |
note the great cyclic pitch linkage and aileron bellcrank position at neutral cyclic
| better skid mounting hardware
| battery lead tied together with switch lead, won't unplug in flight
| governer wireing, note how sensor lead is easilly removable for hassle free engine removal
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |  |  |  |  |
rotorhead linkage at neutral cyclic & zero collective pitch, note that mixing arms are level
| ugly muffler a result of using fuel that has castor oil in it, ughhh
| a shot of perfect throttle linkage, and 100/100 throttle servo atv
| wires arent tidy and neat yet, just "hangin out"
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |  |  |  |  |
Cyclic neutral, bellcrank link should be in center of elevator pivot bearing
| mixing levers dead level at zero pitch and neutral cyclic
| mixing levers dead level at zero pitch and neutral cyclic
| upper links and upper mixing arms at zero pitch and cylic neutral, flybar level
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |  |  |  |  |
make sure tail belt goes within the tail guide pullies, not on the lip or outside of them
| note antenna, govener sensor, and battery charge lead routing
| header tank plumbing, particularly note how tubeing between main and header tanks is routed
| Cyclic neutral, bellcrank link should be in center of elevator pivot bearing
