pin into main gear logo 800

Unless I got a faulty part in my kit - I cant seem to figure out or how I can install the pin into the main shaft once the main gear & co. are installed.

Trouble getting the pin in the shaft ?
Or figuring out how to get it into place ?

There's been a few posts explaining his procedure. Key is you have to (as far as I know/have done) remove the bottom bearing assembly to give enough room for the lower gear to drop to get access to do the acrobatic feat of installing that pin just below the gear above then dropping the gear on to it, another little trick requiring some alignment but not as difficult
Finally raise the other gear and assemble back the bottom bearing assembly. Someone suggested practicing outside the heli to make sure all fits well first. I personally have trouble keeping all the washers aligned. Thinking about this a little more, you will need to make sure the collar above is loose to be able to lower the shaft and gears to get access to the hole for the pin.

Cheers.

thanks ..... I got it all sorted now - wot a mish! It was a real pain to do as I am not use to this procedure, just a simple bolt thru a hole worked for me fine.
