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:
• TheTrainingGearSetincludesfourtraininggearrodswithplasticballsinstalled,fourtraininggearrodtolanding
skid attachments, four screws and one training gear rod mounting base .
• Locatethefourtraininggearrodtolandingskidattachmentsandfourscrews.Notethattherearetwoeachof
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,carefullysnaptheremainingtwoattachmentsontothelandingskidsbehindthelandingskidstruts.The
side of the attachment with the large hole should face outward, away from the helicopter, and backward to the
rear of the helicopter .

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 .

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 .
