Manual wind

[mlilley01]

Hi,

Got a Skyland through the post today... everything is bang on, looks lovely. I did notice though that when I set the date and time, I thought I'd give it a couple of slow hand winds to get it going, but I can feel and hear the rotor turning with each wind... not just the normal resistance of the spring, its actually turning the rotor. Apart from not hand winding it, can anyone give me any advice on what to look for or what can be done?

Thanks

It needs a service. Best case is to remove the autowind bridge and check the reverser wheels.

Sometimes dirt or a mis-alignment can cause your probelem.
