Raptor 30/50 v2 assembly manual

The landing gear set is designed to be installed with the struts angled forward. Some people however install it backwards so that it will sit without tipping backwards when the blades are folded back. While this helps for that, it does cause the canopy clip not to fit well, the protective antenna tube guides to be on the wrong side, and it looks a little funny.
Another thing before you begin assembly of this section... the base plate is not important. It was put on the v2's mainly because of customer demand. On the v1's the front forks would break often so some companies started making a base plate to strengthen this area. Well on the v2's they beefed up the front forks to prevent them from failing in a crash but because there was already demand for a base plate they included that too. I do not think it is needed at all and do not use the one that came with my R50v2. I do not like it because it makes removing the engine difficult. I have had a few crashes with my R50v2 and have never damaged the front forks.

Start by bolting the base plate (6), front and back struts (2) to the frameset using four (1) screws. Next slide each skid (4) into the struts. Adjust the skids so that there is 30mm from the back of the skid to the back of the rear strut then secure them with set screws (2). Don't used loctite, you are going into plastic. Later as the bottom of the struts wear down from landing on pavement then check out the tips on <this page>. Next apply a small amount of epoxy to the four skid end caps (5) and push them in place.
