Completing the chassis
Attach the helicopter chassis (complete with tail boom and boom braces) to the base plate using
the four screws with which the original skid landing gear was secured. Attach the speed
controller to the underside of the base plate so that the ON / OFF switch is easily accessible
when the model is complete.
The upper bodywork stand-off pillars
consist of a 70 mm length of 2 mm Ø
carbon fibre rod. Drill a 2 mm Ø hole
in both chassis side frames as shown
in the photo, and push the rod
through them. Adjust the position of
the rod so that it projects by exactly
the same amount on both sides. Cut
two pieces 21 mm long from the 3 / 2
mm Ø plastic tube, push them onto
the carbon fibre rod as far as they will
go, and secure them with cyano.
