Installing the Optional Training Gear
If the Blade CX3 MD 520N is your first helicopter model, we suggest that you install the optional
Training Gear Set (EFLH1205) before making your first flight . The training gear helps to further increase the stability
of the model while also providing added support and cushioning to prevent tip-overs and damage to the model from
abrupt landings .
Installing the training gear takes only a few minutes following these steps:
• The Training Gear Set includes four training gear rods with plastic balls installed, four training gear rod to landing
skid attachments, four screws and one training gear rod mounting base .
• Locate the four training gear rod to landing skid attachments and four screws. Note that there are two each of
two types of attachments . Carefully snap two of the attachments onto the landing skids forward of the landing
skid struts . The side of the attachment with the large hole should face outward, away from the helicopter, and
forward to the front of the helicopter .
• Next, carefully snap the remaining two attachments onto the landing skids behind the landing skid struts. The
side of the attachment with the large hole should face outward, away from the helicopter, and backward to the
rear of the helicopter .
• Once you have installed all four attachments, install the four screws making sure that they thread properly into
the back side of the attachment . It may be helpful to squeeze the attachment with a pair of pliers to make it
easier to thread the screw into the backside of the attachment . Do not tighten the screws all the way at this time,
as the attachments will need to be adjusted for proper alignment once the training gear rods are installed .
• Locate the four training gear rods and rod mounting base. Note that the rod mounting base has four channels
into which the training gear rods will mount . The open side of these channels will face upward toward the bottom
of the helicopter when properly installed .
• Carefully pass each of the rods through the attachments on the landing skids and into the channels on the base.
Take care to not pull the landing skids out of their mounts in the battery supports .
