First off - landing like a feather will never break a skid - and even landing with a bounce will not break one :-) Landing like a rock is another matter...

You can use Plastizap with Zap Kicker to repair the skids. Spray one of the parts with Zap Kicker and let it dry 60 seconds. The put some Plastizap on the other part, and put them together. When the puff of smoke appears in about 3 seconds - they have bonded together.

You can use unwaxed dental floss to wrap the intersections of the skids & legs - and then hit it with CA to harden it - for a lightweight reinforcement.

With practice, you will get to the point where you don't break skids anymore unless you just crash out hard.

Happy landings!

I had the same problem with mine. My solution was to sell the piece of crap and buy a T-Rex.

Operator Error, no disrespect but the Blade is a great little helicopter. Your Rex will break LG too if you let it hit hard enough.

Coming into a Blade forum and bashing it is just absurd. If you need to upgrade because of landing issues then a sim is probably the next best choice.

hghlndr: just keep practicing man.. you will get there. Once you find your zone things will definitely fall into place. More flying and less damage!
