feathering shaft bolts
« on: December 06, 2018, 10:44:46 AM »
hi,
new e5 owner here.
started the build here slowly.
i'm doing the head part now and I cant undo the bolts on the feathering shaft that holds the blade grips.
are these loctited at factory? maybe a stronger hands? cause i'm small.
thank you.

also, do we always have to answer what Matt is flying everytime we post?

Always pull the grips off and lube the thrust bearings. So yes you do need to break em loose. Try a little heat on the bolt. Of
Course use loctite when reinstalling.
The what’s Matt flying question will eventually go away. It’s there to prevent robo posting.

Cheers
Alan
