We design our products with
considerable
thought and many of them come with a high degree of options to allow
our customers more flexibility in use of the stock products with
our Upgrades. With this in mind some people might find this
flexibility a bit confusing when no detailed instructions are
provided.
-
-
I apologize if you received an
early kit with no instructions.
-
- But
if
you have any questions about the assembly of
our kits, please e-mail us before asking question in forums.
-
-
Often times many people just don't know enough about our
products or the stock product itself to be able to help you as we,
the kit, upgrade designer and manufacturer, would.
-
-
Please direct your questions
to our E-mail so that we can help you better.

Thank You - MIA

- Blade 120 SR Helicopter with Stock
LG.
-
-
-
-
The 120 is a nice
helicopter but looks a bit funky with the stock LG, it is also
"narrow-footprint" and this hinders easier takeoffs and
landings.
-
-
- Blade 120 SR Fitted with MIA "A"
Style LG
- A more practical and elegant LG
Option
\
Note: The MIA "A" Shape LG,
is not just for aesthetical purposes, it has a mechanical
advantage of providing a more solid mechanical structure
while allowing the LG struts to be designed lightweight and
allowing the skids to be locked in place with a bit of
friction. However you can make the installation of the skids
to struts more permanent by using a bit of Hot Melt Glue at
the strut to skid O-ring joints to lock them in place. Note
also that you can use CA glue but Hot Melt glue is
preferable if you think you will need to replace the
aluminum skids often.
Note also that we are
supplying aluminum skids based on customer request to have a
more elegant skids on their helicopters, and although MIA
favors the G10 or molded nylon skids, as we used and offer
on some of our other MIA LG KITS, this option is there for
you to consider based also on your personal preference.
Have you ever wondered why
bridges are made of thin triangular sections? Same approach
here with our "A" shape design. LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURAL
RIGIDITY.

The MIA LG Kit - G10 LG Parts Tree
-
- Has all the fiberglass parts
to make up the wider footprint and lower profile LG, battery
plate and a couple "bonus fins" for user to use or not use as
desired.
-
- The fins were not intended
to be part of the LG, but since we had the room on
the plate we thought we include them at no extra charge. They are shorter than the fin that is
included with the MIA Edge, Phantom and Falcon canopies, but
they are free and made from G10.
