e-Lite Machines Corona > Tail boom problem

Hi,

I just bought my 1st heli and started to assemble it.
I assembled the tail boom and the gearbox and seperately they turn smoothly.
But when i put them together and do what the manual says :

Simultaneously rotate and pull the tail boom out of the gearbox very slightly to open the spacing between the bevel gears until the gear mesh just starts to feel smooth.

Its not smooth at all.
It turns smooth for 1/2 rotation and then turns stiff for 1/2 ....
I cant figure out why, I followed the manual strictly.

Or is that normal and should I not worry at all?

That is not normal.......check your gears for any burrs ..make sure the teeth are not nicked up.........if you fly it that way you will have major tail problems

Red Gear

Dag, try grinding the end of the red gear down to the teeth level. I think that it sometimes rubs on the tail rotor drive shaft...

Do you mean so that it is a cylinder ? Now its more of a cone.
I also noticed that the back side of the red plastic gear (on the hoolow tail shaft) is not flat. (where it presses against the hub)

problem solved

the real problem was the bad translation of the manual into german, they left out an important part.

thanks to you all
