Mini Dragon Fly Retrofit Landing Gear

For the Feda as well

In our opinion this hand down the BEST modification for the Hummingbird; it is simply a must have. No more messing with broken skids, broken struts and even mounting the battery pack is made simple. No Super Glue assembly ( all mounting hardware is included ) and these retrofit landing gear are simply close to indestructible.

PART#HH2272

The kit is supplied with built in mounting systems for both lithium and NiMH Packs using the lower front built in clamp. The struts can bent all the way to the ground without breaking. Note that this is a CNC machined Delrin part and NOT molded plastic ( higher strength and quality ). We love this upgrade and highly recommend it !!!

  • Includes close to indestructible landing struts
  • Pre mounted system for battery mouthing ( lithium and NiMH )
  • Kit installs in seconds on original frame
  • Complete screw installation ( No more messing with super glue )
  • Kit installed in less than five minutes

Pitch Dynamic Adjustable Head - Red

Mini Dragon Fly upgrade

The CNC Aluminum Hummingbird acts as a head stiffener as it will not allow any play on the grips and reduce the conning effect and “Nose-Pitch-up” of the fixed pitch Hummingbird. The Head uses a unique locking mechanism; it latches on and will pop out after a crash like the stock head. It enables the adjustment of the angle of attack ( pitch angle ) using the built in long set screws; this feature allows for an increase head speed and will allow the user to fix tracking and blade flapping very easily .

Aluminum CNC Collar with 3 set screws @ 120 degrees

For All Micro Heli

This is probably the first modification you want to get for you Micro Heli. Having the main shaft slide down will result in breakage of the main gear. Also, this collar is extremely narrow and will allow for increased tilt of the Swashplate. The collar includes a flange ( lip ) that is placed over the frame’s bearing to reduce friction. The threaded set screw opening is of high quality and will allow for a fairy tight installation of the set screw without damaging the thread. We highly recommend it.

This is a cool looking light plastic vertical fin which also acts as a tail prop tail guard.
The fin is practically indestructible ( rubber like ) and will slide on stock boom.
The fin is a tight fit so gluing to boom is optional. The fin comes slotted for reduction in weight. A film ( tape ) may be applied over slots for a more aerodynamic application.

3D Paddles / Carbon Fiber and Lightened

Mini Dragon Fly upgrade

Lighter paddles will allow you to increase cyclic response time and smooth out your disk action. The Carbon Fiber paddles are more rigid and look great, they will perform slightly better than stock plastic paddles. However, for the ultimate 3D flying style the lightened 3D paddles will decrease total flybar weight sifnificantly allowing for the machine to roll and loop over 2X faster.

Mini Dragon Fly upgrade

The paddles work great on Piccolo Flybar. Thicker than the original paddles and they improve cyclic control. The paddle shape is aerodynamic allowing for less resistance in air flow above and below the paddle. To install, use an electric drill and at a slow RPM, enlarge the Flybar opening to 2mm, then use a drop of CA to hold the paddles in place.

Tail Motor Heat Sink - Partial coverage

For all Micro Dual motor Helis

This Tail Motor Heat Sink will fit all tail motors. Ultra light with high fins to catch more air and decrease chances of tail motor from over heating. The heat sink is a tight fit so no super glue is needed to hold it securely in place. Simply slide on motor from back side.

Main Motor Heat Sink

For all Micro Dual motor Helis

Main motor heat sink. All low end brushed motors ( such as the 295, 310, 370, 410 ... ) suffer from overheating. The heat sink will dramatically reduce the total temperature of the motor and the long fins will help absorb the heat and cool the motor. Cooler running motor will allow for longer flight time and prolong the life of the motor.

Twin Tail Motor Mount and tail Guard Kit

For all dual motor Helis

Probably the most common complaints ( at least since the migration to Lithium batteries ) is that the tail motor can only perform well for several flights; this is caused by the higher capacity Lithium packs wearing out the brushes on the inexpensive tail motor. This upgrades does the trick, it reduces the load of the individual motor by splitting its work load to a 2nd motor. The additional tail weight is insignificant but now the tail motor(s) will outlast most other components of the Helicopter as the brushes can handle the voltage with ease.

This upgrade also comes with a metal tail guard to protect your tail blade; the metal wire guard is inserted into the CNC tail hub base so it will not break or crack the boom.
Also, the complete tail hub assembly is connected to the boom using (2) large set screws so you no longer need to glue (CA) the tail hub; this feature makes it real conviniant to replace damaged booms.
As for the electronic configuration, you simply split the + and - wires at the end of the boom ( were the come out ) and feed one + and one - to each one of the motors to split the work load, its that simple !!!

7mm Boom Conversion kit with clamps and dual mount

For all dual motor Helis

The 7mm platinum dual conversion mount is a must for any standard size dual motor Micro Heli ( such as the Piccolo, Piccolo Pro, XR-1, Skylarks, all Hummingbirds V1-V3 and Elite and many others ). First off the platinum boom is much more attractive and very light and strong. It comes with very high quality multi purpose boom clamps ( made of Delrin ) and also a dual motor or a direct drive CNC aluminum motor mount. Also included is a standard to 7mm boom CNC aluminum adapter. And if this wasn’t enough, a set of vertical and horizontal fins ( made of carbon fiber ) are also part of this complete package. We love it and highly recommend this 7mm conversion kit to all Micro Helis which use dual motors
 ( for main and tail ). This kit may also be used on the Viper CPX.

Direct Drive / Large prop & fin tail system upgrade

For all dual motor Helis

The direct drive / large prop system allows you to install a direct drive with a special motor shaft coupler. The coupler is held in place using set screws against the motor’s shaft and so it allows for a more robust / larger tail propellor to be installed. In fact, this setup is powerful enough to give your dual motor Heli serious tail control and also allows the

propellor to be securely installed ( thanks to the coupler ) directly onto the tail motor. The tail fin is made of flexible plastic and so it protects the tail prop from ground strikes. The tail fin also comes with a bearing housing so you may still install a drive gear if you wish to stay away from a direct drive tail system. Several components are available in this package including tail fin mount only, prop with coupler and mounting hardware, and a set of replacement props ( optional ). Be sure to order both the first and second item for a complete tail conversion. Will install on any standard 7/8mm boom ( Piccolo, Hummingbird, Skylark, etc ... )

Direct Drive Tail Rotor Blade - Choose from Narrow or Wide

For all Micro Dual motor Helis

Get rid of your tail gear and hook up this buzzing prop directly to your tail motor. The propeller / tail rotor is about 1/2 the size of the original black tail rotor. The smaller size is compensated by the fact it is connected directly to the motor allowing for much higher RPM on your new direct drive tail rotor system. Higher RPM will allow for a more responsive tail system. Two versions of the props are available, narrow and wide.

Enlarge

The wide Prop will allow for more air to be pushed and so it will enhance tail responce time, however the tail motor is required to work harder and so the tail motor does get hotter. The narrow version will allow for a cooler tail motor but you may notice tail control being a bit slower in responce time.

Fixed Pitch Flat Bottoms Super light weight wood blades

For any Fixed Pitch Micro Heli

The fixed pitch flat bottoms are a one of a kind solution to the most common problem of smooth fast forward flight with fixed pitch micro Helis. When you rest these blades on a desk you will notice that they are flat all the way through the bottom of the blade and yet the upper root mount is twisted in order to allow for

the fixed pitch application producing the angle of attack. This combo allows for a super smooth none “nose pitching” blade while maintaining a fixed pitch application. The blades are also super light so they reduce the work load off the main motor. The blades come pre covered so installation is a snap. Now you can literally fly a fixed pitch machine with smoothness resembled in collective pitch machines.
