Make sure that once the tail pitch slider lever is fitted and tightened down, that it still moves totally freely on it's pivot.
Next, fit the tail pitch slider along with the hub and blade grips assembly. Ensure the tail pitch slider ball is fitted into the hole in the tail pitch slider lever. Also, line up the grub screw hole in the tail rotor hub with the flat spot on the tail output shaft.
