Just been loose fitting the retract mechanism into the hull just to see how its going to fit. Needs a bit of the supporting plastic frame removed but it fits pretty well.
But on thing I cant understand with the instructions, is the nut that runs on the threaded rod assembly for retracting the planes, has no locking nut or spring washer on it. Just a 20mm flat head screw. I have just jury rigged a motor up to it just to make sure it works ok, and the screw that keeps the 2 swing arms on just falls out. So I think the way forward is to fit all the screws into the mechanism, amke sure there all tight or as tight as they need to be and use some LOCTIGHT thread glue. making sure they all work first
I dont know about any other lads on here, but I have measured all distances and degrees of swing etc, but its going to be a case of trial by error I think. Just as Mankster said, its tricky to get them to run smoothly. Grease helps, measuring equal distances for all the connecting rods is essential on mine. But still needs some playing with.
Why on earth they dont recomend lubricating mechanical moving parts with some form of grease I have no idea
And oh S**T I forgot I have not got a spare servo, talk about bad planning, back to Pandan models again me thinks !
