Skid Subassembly

Make up the landing gear according to the
drawing. Do not over tighten the four M4x5 set
screws or the plastic brace may crack. After
inserting the four plastic end caps into the skids,
add some CA glue around the edges to prevent
them from falling out. Add the gear to the
helicopter using four self-tapping screws. You
may want to add a drop of CA between the metal
skid and the plastic landing gear brace to prevent
the skid from turning. If you fly off concrete
surface, then adding some optional silicone tubing
or "skid stoppers" on the skid will help protect
the bottom of the plastic landing gear braces and
prevent the helicopter from sliding on the ground.
This is useful during takeoff and at autorotation
time.
