1. Remove the body, main blades, tail
fins and landing gear from the main
fuselage of the helicopter. You will
have to unwrap the antenna if your
helicopter has one.
2. Remove the 3 ball links from the
swashplate. Push the center pin out
of the main shaft and head assembly.
Remove the head assembly.
3. Use a 1.5mm hex driver to start the
2mm (0.07-inch) setscrews into the
bosses of each leg on the front and
rear landing gear/battery mounting
plate. Do not thread these all the way
in yet.
4. Install the 84mm (3.3-inch) long
carbon rods between the front
and rear landing gear/battery
mounting plate.
5. Use the 40mm (1.57-inch) carbon
rods to mount the front and rear
landing gear/battery mounting plate
assembly to the frame. Install one
side at a time. Once all four rods
are installed on the frame, slide the
landing gear/battery mounting plate
assembly all the way down on the
40mm rods so they are flush at the
bottom. Make sure the battery
tray is pointed towards the front of
the helicopter.
6. While holding the rods flush with the
bottom of the mounts, tighten the
setscrews down using the 1.5mm hex
driver.
7. Apply a small amount of thin CA to
the joints of the 84mm (3.3-inch)
carbon rods and the landing gear/
battery mounting plates. The joints
of the 40mm (1.57-inch) rods do not
need gluing.
