REFLECTOR: Another Step

[Michael Watson]

Kurt,

I have been using the IVO supplied brush assembly for 14 years without much
problems. A couple
of years ago, I changed to the clear see through brush holders. That makes
it easy to see the amount
of brush remaining. The bottom of the brush holder should be around 1/8 "
from the slip rings.

Make sure you torque the bolts to prop bolts to 65 Foot pounds, place the
three SS tape strips between the base
where the blades meet and check the torque after each flight for the first
5 hours. FLY SAFE.

Mike W.
