| Raptor 30v2 setup How do I know when the main rotor and tail rotor are correctly aligned. They only have one fastener so where do tighten them down at? Will centrifigul force align them? How tight should they be fastened? Also the instructions make no note on greasing the thrust bearings in the main rotors pitch arms. Should I? This heli looks like a good design, but the instructions ****. Thanks for your input |

| Hi M&Ms For the main rotors, what I do is to tighten the blades only till it holds it. Knocking the blades lightly with your hand can easily knock it out of alignment. I then fly it to hover, settle it down, and then let the blades spin to a complete stop. I give the nuts another round to tighten the blades in. Centrifugal force would balance the alignment for me. As for the tail rotors, as long as they are visibly align, it won't cause much problems with vibration etc. |
