Configuring the tail servo requires installing
the servo arm with its neutral point set at an
approximately 90° angle to ensure that the
correct pitch is set for the tail blades.

It is crucial that you install the window of
the canopy - without it the mechanism will
be restricted.
First cut the window out of the canopy and
trim the flashing from the edges. Trim the
shield around the moulding so that it fits the
window.
Fit the shield to the window with the screws
supplied. Ensure the trim on the upper
edge is trimmed down so as to allow a suit-
able fit for the swashplate mechanism.

Apply the decals as desired. Fit to the heli-
copter. If you find the canopies fit is too tight
use a hair dryer to warm the plastic before
gently moulding back to suitable shape.
BladEs
Balance your blades using a blade bal-
ancer. Attach them - they should be tight
enough in the grips to hold their position
when moved, but can still be moved easily
by hand.
To set the pitch of the blades adjust the po-
sitioning of the push rod on the pitch servo
arm. The distance dictates the level of pitch
the blades have set. Use this rough guide
to set the pitch correctly in conjunction with
a pitch gauge.
13mm = ± 13° Pitch
10mm = ± 10° Pitch
That completes the configuration and as-
sembly of the INTERCEPTOR 400. Please

nents regarding installation and setup. You
