Making and fitting the landing gear (skids)
The next operation is pretty simple, as long as
you make sure which pair of skid support goes where, and which way
around they fit.
The parts required are shown below.
 |
| The first thing to note is that
the wider skid support goes at the front of the helicopter,
so lay them together and decide which one that is.
Now slide the skid bars through from the
front of the support so that the skid arms slope BACKWARDS.
Slide them down to the position shown on
the right. |
 |
 |
Now do the same with the
narrower rear skid support, sliding it down to the position
shown on the left. |
| If you want to , you can
now add the small white blanking pieces by using bit of
superglue and pushing one into each end of the two skid
pipes. |
 |
 |
Now we are going to fit the
skids to the main frame, starting with the front skid
support.
Note that it is being fitted into the hole
BEHIND the screws that are holding the battery tray in
place, so the screw will have to be put in from the INSIDE
of the frame, and go through the battery tray hole first,
then the hole in the frame, and finally, be locked down into
the nylon of the skid support.
Repeat this on both sides and tighten
fully.
Then remove the nut on the
other bolts holding the battery tray and add Thread Lock and
retighten fully. |
| Now let us attach the rear skid
support to the frame.
As you can see from the picture on
the right, this support fits INSIDE the frame, and the
screws go in through the frame first, then the rear tray and
finally into the nylon of the skid. |

This is
what our frame, now with skids, is looking like, or yours
should be....
