Hello Nuttcaze
I have come to this forum via YouTube. Before I ask my question I would just like to say thank you for your posts on YouTube on how to repair.
I am a total beginner and new to the sport.
I followed your vid on how to replace the feathering shaft on my CP V2 but I have run into a problem. On your vid you do not mention two silver washers that I am left over with when I follow your instructions so I have put them where I think they go for now!
I have looked in the E Sky manual but that does not help much!
The problem is that now I have reassembled everything the rotor head is now quite stiff to turn by hand and a squeaking noise can be heard from the rotor head which was not there before.
When I try to check for pitch using a pitch gaudge the blades will not lift up anymore by hand, they feel like they will bend the feathering shaft if I force them up. They will rotate but not go up. The blades will not change pitch via the transmitter either.
I have recently taken off the push rods on the upper part of the rotor head and replaced these with titanium turnbuckles. I adjusted these to 57.15mm as per the size given in the E Sky manual.
I have put onto the feathering shaft in this order,
the O- ring, then two silver washers, then the copper coloured domed washer (flat side facing the O-ring).
Then the blade grip, then the washer with the balls exposed facing the washer already in the blade grip, then the washer with a grove in it, this is facing so that the flat side is facing the nut.
Could you please let me know if I have put these on in the wrong order, and what you think the problem is.
Thank's again
All The Best
