Default RE: Good Service..........Bad Service......

Ok answer me this, how many beginners know how to properly install a motor into a gearbox to get the proper gear mesh so that they do not demolish the gears on the first or second flight?????
Damn, Rat, I never thought about that. I thought that all you had to do is slide in the gear so that it meshed with the pinion gear. I have no idea that there was a proper way or an improper way to do this. Please tell me what ya know. Thanks. I did notice that the pinion has a lot of variablity on how far it goes on the shaft. What should I be concerned about here? I set it up so the main gear is not touching the back flange of the pinion, but that it is making full contact with the gears. Did I do this right ?? How do I set the gear lash correctly?
