My Posts This: Topic Forum | Be careful when building the torque tube, the end caps that go in and when you secure them with the small button head screws. I was a bit sleepy when I hit this step and ended up putting the buttonhead screw in a bit askew. end result 1 late night parts order for a 18.99 parts bag since they don't come by themselves 996320. You can either clear the rough edges a bit on the torque tube to allow the screw to thread in straight and only bite on the aluminum end cap or as you are putting the screw in to ensure that it is going in straight.
If you are going to do 140ccpm then put the T arms on before you put the side frames together, otherwise its a tight fit.
When you put the main shaft in make sure you put the collar on just as it comes through the top bearing block, it won't slide up if you put it on after the shaft passes the elevator arm.
When assembling the frames, not a bad idea to have the main shaft out of the parts bag to check for smoothness when assembling the frames.
Don't tighten the elevator control arm till you get the servos in and so forth, you seem to need 3 hands to hold the elevator A-arm in the sitewindow, hold the elevator arm and tighten down the locknut.
I'm still quite confused with the ball links as I still can not figure which way is which on the short links, I see the cutout on both sides, maybe my eyes are shot  The long links are easy as the raised JRPROPO letters should be on the outside when you snap the links on
