Hey guys, just had a little mishap. This heli is new to me and on the maiden flight I barely saved it from falling over and disintegrating. A lesson there as I was expecting to just fly her out of the crate. The tail hit the carpet and the tail drive stripped and the tail servo give up a few teeth as well. No biggie, so now I have it back together and the autorotation does not turn freely. It looks like the mesh it too tight with the tail drive. Any way to fix this? The new tail gears are the black ones and I replaced the white ones. Not enough teeth left on the previous one to count, but I have 28 teeth on the new one. Is this the correct count? The Align manual does not provide the tooth count.
Checking for mesh slop, the umbrella sets on both ends of the boom seem pretty good - just a hair of slop. It appears all pressure is being caused by the autorotation to tail drive gear.
Thanks in advance!
