RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

I do know the setscrew is only there to hold things in place while you get your final gear angle down and when you like it you will tighten it to hold it in place to drill it. It is not meant to...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

The pin should be flush or close to flush with both sides, just make sure its even on both sides. When I say pressure I mean that it should take pressure or force to push the pin into the hole, it...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)
