9. Maintenance and Care
You have to perform regular checks and maintenance work on your model helicopter to ensure its operational safety.
1.
Check if any screws have loosened or components are no longer firmly screwed on.
2.
Check the tooth backlash between the motor pinion and the main pinion. Particularly check if the motor has come loose
so that the teeth of the two pinions no longer interlock cleanly.
3.
Checking the tail rotor drive. All mechanical parts must force-interlock but still run smoothly.
4.
Observe clean run of the various shafts. Even slight ground contact of the rotor blades may lead to considerable shaft
deformation.
5.
Check all ball bearings for clean run. Bearings that issue a „rolling“ or „crunching“ feel when operated manually must
be replaced as well as any visibly damaged ball bearings.
6.
Check the auxiliary paddles. The paddles always have to be aligned precisely and the paddle rod must not be deformed.
7.
Check the correct and secure fit of the electronics components and the drive battery.
8.
Check all cables. Especially observe the connections between the speed controller and the motor.
Important!
If you have to replace any damaged or worn parts, only use genuine replacement parts in your helicopter.
The spare parts list is located on the website www.conrad.com in the download section for the respective device.
