Blade Fusion 360 Helicopter Skids

thingiverse

I was having tipping issues with the stock skids. No fun tipping over in the grass and wrecking gears, servos, and blades. Decided to mimic the stock design but make them a little longer and offer less forward stance. This makes the skids sit wider and the helicopter is much more stable. I did make these a bit thicker than the stock skids since plastic has more flex than carbon. These are pretty rigid and still have some flex for those not so perfect landings. Added a raised shape on the side of the skids to add some color of your choice. Simply brush on some paint on the raised portion of the skid to add some flare to the skids. The solid black looked pretty bland on the first couple of revisions. Only thing you will need is 4 - M2x8mm screws to mount these. You may be able to use the stock screws still, but I didn't try since I had some longer ones laying around. Wasn't sure how many threads would engage on the stock screws.
