About Helicopter Alignment
The Microgage laser alignment solution is used to replace the traditional wire with a laser beam and a digital laser receiver to preform tail rotor shaft alignment. To start, the laser would be mounted on the plate that is attached to the tail boom when it is removed from the helicopter. If the tail rotor driveshaft system were to be aligned with the tail boom in place, the laser could be attached to the drive phalange on the main gearbox.
