Raised main rotor - now rigging - Tony Evans - 01-21-2026

Hi All,

I just installed a new Peter K cog belt drive and had to raise the entire mast assembly 0.08 inches at the lower mast bearing (via a shim) to maintain specified clearance between the driven cog and the longitudinal square frame tube.

When I re-rig the controls I plan to simply adjust the length of the rod ends on the collective control rod to compensate and return the system to RW specs. Am I missing anything?

Thx!
