Mikado Logo 700 XXTREME - Tail bevel shimming and maintainance

After some flights the tail case bearings naturally sit in and there is some free play on the tail bevel gear.
For the Logo 700 XXtreme tail assembly maintenance is easy.


Remove the 3 screws which holds the tail chassis and pop out the tail chassis.

Depending on your tail bevel free play, you will require to add one or two 0.5 mm shims.

For my tail assembly, one 0.5 mm shim and some plastic safe grease was sufficient to the line the bevel gears perpendicular for good gear meshing.

I Check the bevel mesh again, this time it is perfect or close to perfect, not forgetting to apply thread locker on the 3 screw sockets before reassembly.
