Kit content
Please first read the instructions, in order to
familiarize yourself with the assembly of the
Bell-222 fuselage.
Attention! Please observe the instructions how
to work with the adhesives.
CA Glue
Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue bonds skin an eye lids
instantly. In case
of eye contact, avoid blinking, rinse with water
and seek medical
attention immediately. Keep CA glue out of the
reach of children. Avoid breathing in vapors.
Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use
CA glue on foamed plastic.
UHU Por
This adhesive is a contact glue, i.e. apply a
glue layer as thin as
possible to the components you want to join
together; let the glue dry for
approx. 5 - 10 minutes before joining the
components together.
Prepare the mechanics
Assemble the Piccolo mechanics as described
in the Piccolo instructions. Omit the skids, main
motor, tail tube and tail skid.
Shorten the two rear carbon fiber landing gear
struts to a length of 27 mm (1 1/16 in.), and
glue them on as described. Cut off an approx.
th
35 mm (1 3/8 in.) long piece of the tail tube,
and glue it into the mechanics without running
the wires of the tail motor through it.
In case you are using an existing mechanics
first unsolder the wires at the tail motor, and
then pull them forward out of the tail tube.
Now cut off the tail tube in such a way that it
protrudes 10 to 15 mm from the chassis.
Remove the two front struts, shorten the two
rear struts to a length of 27 mm (1 1/16 in.).
Now cut off the tail tube flush with the tail rotor
housing.
Contrary to the standard Piccolo the mechanics
are mounted to the carbon canopy mount No.
67380. The joint of the chassis plate and the
canopy mount must be carefully reinforced
by using carbon fibers and CA glue. Therefore
wind the fibers from below around the canopy
mount and chassis plate and apply
additional CA glue. Now install the tuning motor
G-310 with the 9-tooth pinion. Use the screws
which come with the tuning motor,
but without washers.
The Assembly
Warning! For cutting out the recesses and
windows a very sharp scalpel is included in the
kit. Please use it with extreme caution (danger
of injury!).
Assemble the right and left fuselage half shell
and check
their fit. If necessary, match the fuselage half
shells at the joint
using sandpaper.
