Decent Devil AH‐64 Apache – 500 size – Instruction Manual
E) Mount tail rotor frame
Finally mount the tail rotor frame of your original mechanics as usual. Adjust the belt tension. Mount the tail
servo and adjust the travel of the pushrod properly. Distribute the pushrod distancers along the tail tube in
that way, that the pushrod moves both smoothly but without giving the pushrod a chance to move. It is
recommended to fix the distancer's position with cyanoacrylate glue.
F) Test fly the elevated mechanics
After assembling all conversion parts, double check each screw connection for tight fit. In some places it is
recommended to use threadlock to secure the screws from getting loose, please refer to your helicopters
instruction manual for this. Adjust your mechanics properly, and make a test flight checking if your setup is
working properly.
G) Prepare mechanics for installation
In order to prepare your mechanics for installation into the helicopter mechanics you have to take of the
main landing gear. Please set these screws aside, you will need them to mount the mechanics onto the body.
Also take both canopy holders off and replace them with normal screws instead.
Also, you have to take of the elevated tail area. Take off the tail rotor frame and remove the short tail tube.
Now your mechanics are prepared for installation. Now let's start preparing the scale body.
