Hi

I have bought the Carbon training undercarriage shown on this page.

http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/acatalog/online_shopping_Helicopter_Spares_22.html
(model A-R3836 : Carbon Training Undercarriage)

It came with 4 balls, 4 sticks, 1 rubber centre piece and 4 rubber bands. I
connected everything together, but got no idea how to fit the undercarriage
to the heli's skids with the 4 rubber bands.

Any ideas? (no I didn't get any instructions in the bag). Thanks for your
time!

You strap it on to the skid with elastic bands. The round centre piece
should be somewhere in the middle, with the legs angled down if it's your
first go. When you get better you can move the legs to the flat position.

Good luck

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the quick reply. You first sentence is the problem. :-) I got
no idea how to strap the undercarriage to the skids. There is no hooks on
the Raptor's body that I can hook the elastic bands to...

Is it okay if the rubber centre pience rests against the engine?

Regards,

Hi!

It must have been one of those days! hehehe... I put the challenge to my
wife and she showed me how I could strap the undercarriage to the skids.
Thanks again!
