FUSELAGE SET UP
1. Using Epoxy glue the tail section of the fuselage to the main body. Ensure that the slit in the tail section is
on the bottom. This is where your tail push rod will be located. Note: roughen up the surface of the joining
sections to give is a good bond.
2. Insert the landing gear struts through the bottom of the fuselage and into the slots in the plywood floor.
Secure the landing gear struts with the 4 wood screws provided as shown above.
3Insert the landing gear skids into the struts and secure down with set screws in the struts.

INSTALLING THE MECHANICS
4. Glue the wood spacers together using epoxy. The amount of spacers will vary depending on what
helicopter you are using for the fuselage. The best way find out how many to use is to place the helicopter in
the fuselage and raise up with the spacers until it fits properly. After finding out how many to use glue together
and mount to the bottom of the mechanics as shown above.
5. Install the mechanics in the fuselage and slide the tail control rod out the bottom slit in the tail cone
section.
6. Slice the foam donut over the tail boom and inside the tail cone. The foam should be flush with the tail
cone. Install the tail case for the mechanics and secure to the boom.

7. After the tail case is secured, mount the mechanics to the wood floor using the wood screws provided.
FINAL STEPS

the window.

FLYING CHARACHTERISTICS
Since this fuselage adds weight to the helicopter we
advise that you do not attempt any 3D maneuvers to
ensure the integrity of the helicopter. With the
added weight the blades may come into contact with
the fuselage and destroy the helicopter if any were
attempted.
The fuselage will make your helicopter look and fly
more like the full scale helicopters, and that is how
we advise you fly it.
Thanks again from all of us here at RC Aerodyne
and enjoy flying your new MD500 fuselage.
