You are about to embark on a wonderful adventure into the world of remote controlled (R/C)
models. However, this helicopter model is not a toy and is not suited for children. A properly
assembled and operated remote controlled model helicopter can bring many hours of enjoyment
and pleasure, but even if properly assembled and operated, the nature of an R/C system means
the radio-link between transmitter and receiver may fail, in which case even competent operators
are no longer in control. In addition, due to operator neglect or accident, worn or damaged parts
may fail causing lack of control. Contact with the rotating parts of this R/C model helicopter
may cause bodily harm and/or death as well as property damage. In addition, the overall mass
of the model in motion means contact with non-rotating parts may cause bodily harm and/or
death as well as property damage.
You, and you alone, are responsible for the safe operation of this R/C model helicopter and
Audacity Models assumes no liability for harm or damage that could occur from the assembly
and/or use/misuse of this product. This manual does not serve as a final and total instruction
in the safe and proper assembly and operation of remote controlled model helicopters. Always
have personal supervision by a modeler experienced in the safe and proper handling of R/C
model helicopters.

Thread Locker Is Used To Keep Assemblies Tight As Vibration May Cause Them To Loosen
Semi-permanent
BLUE Thread Locker
Due to the vibrations caused by operation, nuts, bolts, and set screws may have a tendency to loosen.
Repeated tightening is not the solution, instead, the careful application of thread locker is required.
Thread locker works something like a glue. There are various types of thread locker, from permanent
types which are usually RED in color, to semi-permanent types which are usually BLUE in color. BLUE
thread locker is what is recommended. Thread locker is not needed with nylon-lock nuts, nor where
metal screws thread into plastic. Finally, be careful to remove all traces of oil or grease by applying a
degreaser or acetone to bolts prior to assembly - clean with a paper towel until all traces are gone.
NOTE: Use care when using thread locker near bearing areas as
contamination may ruin the bearing and cause it to seize.
Never use thread locker on metal to plastic
Optional Tools and Accessories:
- Dial Indicator
- Ball Link Pliers
- Piston Locking Tool
- Calipers
- 10mm deep-well thin wall socket
- 2 ea. - 5/16” or 8mm 1/4” drive socket
- 2 ea. - 1/4” drive short extensions and 1/4” handles or drives
- one sheet of thin typing paper
TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY
Various size nuts, bolts, set screws, and washers are used in the
Tiger 50 helicopter. Metric dimensions are given, first specifying
the diameter of the bolt or screw, then the length of the
bolt or screw. Washers and nuts are identified by the ID (inner
diameter) of the piece. Bearings are identified in order, by ID,
(inner diameter), then OD (outer diameter), then W (width).
Below are some examples of the types of hardware used.

M2mm Hex Nut
M3x8mm Socket Head Bolt
M2x8mm Phillips Head Screw M2x8mm Self-tapping Screw M4x4mm Set Screw

* NOTE: Do not use thread locker when a metal screw goes
into plastic as this may damage the plastic and cause failure.

* NOTE: Thoroughly clean the shaft-threads and the
hole-threads of any swarf (tiny metal shavings), before
applying thread locker to ensure precise alignment
between the pinion gear and clutch bell. Use special
care to prevent thread locker from entering the bearing!
