In order to install the MIA Upgrade
TUFF LG, Boom Tail Rotor and Main Blades, the Nine Eagles
Kestrel 500SX or Spirit, stock LG, boom, tail rotor and
main blades need to be removed.
Break off the G10 pieces from the parts
tree at the supporting part bridges. Clean the parts
before assembly, test fit the parts using the step by step
photos above, make sure you have a clear understanding how
the parts are assembled and why, then proceed to CA glue
all assembly joints, step by step. The MIA TUFF LG has
similar layout and has a vertical plate that supports the
RC controller board, in much the same fashion as the
original frame.
In additional, in the TUFF LG Kit,
there is an additional G10 fiberglass motor adapter plate,
that is designed with various mounting holes, to take
various size motors, in case you wish to upgrade the
helicopter later on with one of various BL motors for
such, such as the Feigao, Losi, or similar IPS or 180 size
motor.
The battery is simply held with double
rubber bands under the battery support, the battery is
supported by the front plastic strut and the G10 battery
bracket. The battery can be adjusted for/aft for
adjustment of CG, the helicopter typically balances
directly under the center of the rotor head.
