Hawk SE Build question
Its me again with another Hawk SE build question.
Can anybody with knowledge of the Hawk SE Rotor Head answer the following question...
I've just put together the complete head assembly as per the manual instructions. I was expecting the centre of the Bell Mixer Arm bearings to be positioned in line with the centre of the Hub and the short 33mm push rods to be vertical.
But with the Blade Grips tightened just enough to remove any end play whilst still turning freely, the centre of the Bell Mixer Arm bearings are approximatley 1 to 2mm short of the Hub centre line. Is this correct ?
I may just be paranoid but after the problems I've had with the Hub bearings, but I want to be sure all is finally OK.

RE: Hawk SE Build question
Thanks Syclic.
Its good to know that having the bell mixer arms offset by approx 2mm is correct.
The problems I've had assembling this part ;
M3 screw fouling on hub......
1 blade grip bearing in the new kit was broken......
not knowing which way around the thrust bearings should go on.....
But at last I can continue with the build; or until the next problem ?
