Install the Battery
❏
Remove the canopy by sliding the canopy grommets off
of the carbon rods. Slide the battery into the front of the
battery tray as shown above. use a rubber band to hold the
battery into the tray.
Install Main Rotor Blades
❏
Using the 2 x 12mm hex bolts, mount the main rotor
blades as shown. Be careful not to overtighten them.
Blade Tension Test
❏
To test the blade tension, hold the helicopter up sideways.
The blades should support themselves until the helicopter is
shaken slightly; then they will fall as shown in the picture
above. The blades should be fairly loose but it is critical that
both blades be the same tension.
Assemble Training Gear
❏
Snap the four plastic fittings onto the landing gear as
shown. Slide the carbon rods through the underside of the
fittings. Center the carbon rods and apply a drop of medium
CA to the fittings to lock the carbon rods in place. Also apply
a drop of CA to the landing gear skids where the fittings
snap on.
❏
Cut the supplied silicone tubing into eight 1/8" [3mm]
pieces. Please keep in mind that carbon rods are dangerous
to handle and splinter easily. Using pliers carefully slide the
silicone tubing onto the carbon rod approximately 4"
[102mm]. Now install a foam ball followed by a washer. Now
using pliers install the last piece of fuel tubing. Repeat this
step for the other three balls.
Electric Motor Warning
Electric motors are very dangerous. Please remove the
pinion gear or unplug the motor while working on the model.
If your heli uses an electric tail motor, make sure it is
unplugged as well.
