My first build, setting the mechanics in the fuselage and I need to extend the main rotor and I need some advice on the linkage. It will need to be lengthened as well. What is the best practice? Thank you

Need Advice in Scale Helicopters
Has anyone had to modify the main rotor shaft and linkage for the scale build? I need a taller main rotor shaft and longer linkage. If anyone knows where I can get them or any other ideas? Thanks

Building bell 206 using the align 800 mechanics setting the mechanics on the wood frame, the tail rotor is about 1/2 - 5/8 " to high. My first thought is to drop the rear cross member 1/2 - 5/8 " to get the tail boom on center with the opening for the tail boom drive shaft to exit the fuselage. Thoughts from anyone who might have experienced this.
So I have the doors cut out of the fuselage on my Jet Ranger 206, I left about 1/4" of material all around the opening and obviously the doors will not set flush with the fuselage. If I take the "excess" out the door will fall through, by adding the hinges and latch is this the right way to go to keep the doors from falling through? I have looked at several thousands of pictures and everyone I...

I have looked at several thousands of pictures and everyone I have seen looks like the extra material is left in place.
New to the scale builds, any advice on cutting out the windows and doors? what tools work best, I have a dremel.
Been involved with RC fixed wing and some helicopters, built a lot of models from plastic to balsa. I now have my first scale helicopter from Vario. Did a lot of review research and picked Vario because of the high marks they got. But so far, I'm having trouble with some of the parts not fitting like the landing gear (skid ) horizontal stabilzers mounting to the stubs on the boom, if some one...

Did a lot of review research and picked Vario because of the high marks they got. But so far, I'm having trouble with some of the parts not fitting like the landing gear (skid ) horizontal stabilzers mounting to the stubs on the boom, if some one could answer the question if the parts not fitting correctly you should have to modify the parts to fit? Is this normal for a scale helicopter from Vario?
My first build of a scale helicopter, I just received my Jet Ranger 1:6 scale and if anyone can answer a question for me, is how do the horizontal stabs mount to the tail boom? There are two items molded in the boom shaped just like the stabs.
