Install each main blade with a 4X25 SHCS w/18mm shoulder and 4mm 

Locknut.  Note the leading edge direction.   

 

 

 

We suggest tightening the blades so that they will NOT move if the heli 

is laid on it’s side and shaken.  If your blades require spacers (12mm 

root), then install one spacer on top AND one on the bottom of the 

blade. 

 
 

          

 

 

The fiberglass canopy is the last thing that needs “building”.  We do 

suggest painting it prior to cutting, as the ears may be too fragile for a 

lot of sanding pressure.  On the top of the canopy you should be able to 

find a slightly raised area showing the area to be cut out.
