Default Assembling Swashplate and AUGH!!! :-((

Any Helpful Corona Owners:

I was assembling my new Corona. Everything was going great until assembling the swashplate. Screwed down the outer race. Really didn't have a good idea of how far to screw it down. Thought my holes were lined up, and then AAUUGGHH!!! broke off the bolt/ball in the hole!

Can anyone help me not break my replacement (ordered today)?

How far down do you screw the outer race?
How do you check that the swashplate spins freely enough?
How do you line up the holes?

Thanks! I'm excited by my new heli but frustrated at my blunder!
