General Maintenance - JR Voyager E Assembly Instructions Manual

TAIL ROTOR BELT
Periodically check the tension on the tail drive belt (as shown in Step 3-5,
page 17) to insure that it has sufficient tension for proper engagement. It is
especially important to check this after initial test flights.
CHECK ALL NUTS AND BOLTS
A helicopter is subject to vibration during flight. It is important to check
that all screws, nuts and bolts are properly secured after each day of flying.
It is also suggested that you perform a "quick" inspection between each
initial test flight for approximately the first 6 to 10 flights.
CHECK BALL LINK WEAR
Check to insure that all universal links fit freely but securely to the control
balls. If there is excessive play noted, replace the universal link in question.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Check that your batteries are properly mounted and charged. The most fre-
quent cause of crashes (aside from pilot error) is battery failure or discon-
nection. Be certain that your batteries are fully charged prior to each flight.
CLEANING / INSPECTION
At the end of each flight or flying session this is a good time to inspect all
parts for tightness or fatigue. Remember, a clean, well-maintained helicop-
ter will provide you with many hours of trouble-free flight.
