Hello my fellow "Chopper Pilots".

Thanks for the posts so far.

BarracudaHockey Thanks for the tip. I noticed that things attached to the ground tended to break blades on my lama.

Druss I followed the instruction manual and only applied loctite wherever they said to. The only part they "showed" that should
be greased... or rather, "vaselined" was between the Feathering Shaft and the Flap Damper. I started reading through the manual
again last night just in case I missed something. I'll go through everything a few more times before I spool it the first time.

Speaking of which. What the heck is this spooling thing? As near as I can tell; It's when you connect the electronics to setup the
servo's etc. Check that the movement is correct, trim things out and finally run the engine up to... what? the Desired Head Speed?
This is where I really need the most info. I know there is a process where they "Spool" the chopper, but I haven't the foggiest what
that entails.

Thanks again for the replies so far. It's nice to know there are guys who know what they are doing and that they are willing to help us
newbies.
