| I finally took my Knight up today for a couple hover tests. All was well after reversing the Gyro and getting the fan nut back on tightly.
The main gear assembly is making a whine while spooling up. I think I can probably re-seat all the bolts for the start shaft/pinion, and the motor mount. This, theoretically, would let me push on the pinion/clutch bell forward, while tightening the bolts. This in theory would loosen up the gear/pinion mesh a little.
I was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue with their Knight?
Also I have to re-measure the tail control rod length. I hardly have control one way, while the other way is nice and strong.
Anyone have a distance for the tail slider, from tail case hub to inner slider hub while at neutral(locked heading)???
Thanks for any help.
