| I bought a flybar lock with my Intrepid GAS EB kit and can’t figure out where it attaches to the rotor head to lock the flybar. It is a thin aluminum sheet about 1 inch wide and bent 180 degrees to form a U shape. One side has a notch about 1 inch long and 0.25 inch wide.
My rotor head is completely assembled with all linkages attached and everything sits on main shaft including washout unit and a swash plate. I’m pretty embarrassed, but still can’t understand where to stick that flybar lock (no pun intended). I want to lock the flybar and then using a pitch gage verify that both paddles are exactly at same pitch.
Any help would be appreciated,
