JP Deluxe RC Model Helicopter Training Undercarriage 30/60

The JP Deluxe RC Helicopter Training Undercarriage (Part No: 6631051) is an essential safety tool designed to help novice pilots master the art of hovering and landing without the risk of "tipping" the helicopter. This "hula-hoop" style training gear provides a massive footprint, significantly increasing the stability of 30 to 60-size nitro or equivalent-scale electric helicopters during those critical first flights.

Key Features:

• Anti-Tip Design: The wide-reaching carbon or glass-fiber rods extend far beyond the helicopter's rotors, preventing the model from rolling over if it touches down with lateral speed.
• Shock Absorption: The lightweight, high-visibility orange balls at the ends of the rods act as "buffers," absorbing the energy of a hard landing and protecting the main undercarriage and frames from cracking.
• Adjustable Tension: Features a central mounting hub that allows you to adjust the "springiness" of the rods to suit the weight of your specific model.
• High Visibility: The bright orange balls make it much easier to track the helicopter's orientation and distance from the ground while you are focused on throttle and cyclic management.
• Universal Mounting: Designed to strap securely to the existing skid landing gear of most 30 to 60-class (550mm to 600mm blade) helicopters using the included cable ties or rubber O-rings.

Training Tip:

When first using the 6631051 Training Gear, practice on a very smooth surface like a gymnasium floor or smooth tarmac. This allows the helicopter to "slide" on the balls if you have a bit of horizontal movement, rather than catching on grass and flipping. Once you can consistently hover within a 2-foot circle for a full battery/tank, you can begin to shorten the rods or remove the gear entirely. Warning: The extra weight and drag of the gear will change the helicopter's flight characteristics; be prepared for a slightly slower response on the collective.
