OK, I have built/rebuilt these velocity's a few times & I figured Id start a list to help out guys just starting a build....
This list is not exhaustive, but its what I have collected so far..
1. use a small round file or carefully with a dremel, open the holes for the canopy break away tabs so that the post bolt does not bind in the frame (it will save frames)
2. Make sure you install fuel lines before installing the tank, both the main fuel line & the pressure line are hard to get to afterwards
3. rotate the main shaft collar 90 degrees from the flats on the main shaft, use a second main shaft spacer or use a clamp style collar to prevent the collar from popping up - NEW KITS HAVE DIFFERENT COLLAR
4. Make sure you put some kind of oil in the main autorotation bearing & the clutch one way bearing - 2in1 works great
5. Dont overtighten the paddle set screws
6. When installing the elevator bellcrank (the one outside the frames), there are 2 set screws, make sure you tighten the one against the flat on the control rod first, then tighten the other
7. Use some CA or red locktite when pressing the control rod bearings into the side frames
I will add to the list if I think or find anything else..
But basically this is just about the easiest machine to build, and best of all, flys great...
