• Locate the four training gear rod to landing skid attachments. Snap the attachments to the landing skids as
shown below.
• After installing all four attachments, locate the four training gear rods and rod mounting base. Note that the
rod mounting base has a "coned" shape to it. The "pointed" side of the base will face upward toward the
bottom of the helicopter when properly installed. The base also has two different angles where the gear rods
attach. It is important to orient the base so that the large angle is facing forward and backward.

• Carefully pass each of the rods through the holes in the attachments on the landing skids and into the
channels on the base. The rods will pass through the front holes of the forward attachments, and the back
holes of the rear attachments. You may find it necessary to apply some light pressure to the rods, base and
landing skids when installing all four rods in the base. This is typical; however, take care to not damage any
of the parts.
Once all four rods are installed, note that the landing skids may be pulled slightly inward under their pressure.
This is also typical as the pressure helps to keep the training gear in place.
• Check the fitment of the plastic balls on the training gear rod. Adjust the position of the grommets that were
factory-installed on each rod until they are just touching each plastic ball. The grommets should then be
positioned so that the ball can spin freely on the rod, without too much movement side-to-side between the
keepers.
Your Blade SR is now ready for flight with the training gear installed.
