Your tail motor heatsink may vary from the one shown. The one shown is the GWS tailmotor heatsink.
First, smear some heatsink paste around the inside of the tail rotor heatsink. Slide the tail motor into the heatsink, and clean up any excess paste.
Next install the tail motor into the tail rotor gearbox housing using the two screws.
Next solder the tail motor wire harness to the tail motor.
It should look as shown.
Next insert the tail rotor shaft and a ballbearing into the tail rotor gearbox housing as shown
Ensure that the ball bearing fits snugly into the socket on the tail rotor gearbox housing as shown.
Next we are going to attach the tail rotor drive gear.
Its important to install this part correctly, or the tail rotor will not work correctly or could be damaged.
Ensure that the gears mesh correctly.
Now we are going to attach the tail rotor blade, and keeper.
Ensure that the posts on the rotor blade, fit snugly into the drive holes on the tail rotor drive gear.
The next section is probably the most wanted. And I assure you it will be VERY thorough. After the next section, you should be able to trim and set-up the blade to perfection. I've still got a few pictures left to take, so stay tuned. Im hoping to have it up this week. Perhaps even monday night or so.
The tailrotor on the blade does not extend into the downwash of the main rotor disk. The main rotor disk stops before it gets to the tail rotor. Its about an inch short with the symmetrical blades. At the most it would catch some blade tip turbulance and vortex. Perhaps a little downwash if full forward cyclic is applied
