Introduction
-
-
First, analyze the helicopter as a whole and determine in what sections you will tear it down in.
-
I've divided the helicopter into 6 different sections.
-
Rear
-
Propeller
-
LHS Structure
-
RHS Structure
-
Main Frame and its components
-
Bottom
-
-
-
Here I have tackled the first section and removed the rear propeller structure from the helicopter.
-
All the parts here came off fairly easily with the use of a Phillips head screwdriver.
-
Rear side tail | Length - 96mm; Width - 43mm
-
Rear top Tail | Length - 71mm; Width - 44mm
-
Rear propeller | Length - 110mm; Width - 14mm
-
Tail Brace | Length - 180mm; Width - 3.5mm
-
-
-
After removing the helicopter's cover, I now had access to the structural parts.
-
I could then remove the LHS structure of the helicopter.
-
The dismantling here was pretty good, although there were a couple of parts that needed to be removed carefully so that they wouldn't break in the process.
-
LHS Inner frame | Length - 130mm; Width 60mm
-
LHS Outer piece | Length - 120mm; Width - 46mm
-
Cover holder | Length - 23mm; Width - 22mm
-
-
-
Here I have removed the large propellers to make the helicopter easier to work with.
-
Once again with the use of a Phillips head screwdriver, the propellers came off very easily.
-
Now you can see the helicopter is really starting to come down.
-
Main Propeller | Length - 210mm; Width - 36mm
-
Propeller Holders | Length - 15mm; Width - 14mm
-
-
-
Once I removed the LHS structure, I went ahead and started on the RHS structure which was all removable until the Helicopter's On/Off switch was caught.
-
This RHS structural piece will be removed later on once the switch is disconnected.
-
RHS Inner frame | Length - 130mm; Width - 60mm
-
RHS Outer Piece | Length - 120mm; Width - 46mm
-
-
-
Once the main structure was taken apart, it was time to focus on the main propeller.
-
Up until now, the disassembly has been pretty straightforward, but now there will be pieces that will have to be forced apart, due to them being machine pressed.
-
-
-
Here, I've disassembled the main propeller.
-
As some of the parts were pressed together, they were pulled apart with force.
-
Propeller Inner Frame | Length - 190mm; Width - 9.5mm
-
Top propeller weights | Length - 310mm; Width 15mm
-
Main Propeller spinners | Length - 47mm; Width - 10mm
-
Top propeller wing connector | Length - 53mm; Width - 24mm
-
Mid way Propeller connector | Length - 53mm; Width - 27mm
-
Propeller to frame connector bottom | Length - 22mm; Width - 20mm
-
-
-
Before I moved onto the main components, I deconstructed the base of the helicopter.
-
This was probably the easiest part of the helicopter, as it had no wires or forcefully connected pieces. It all disconnected with ease and came off neatly.
-
Bottom rail | Length - 160mm; Width - 4mm
-
Helicopter base plate | Length - 160mm; Width - 45mm
-
Rail holders | Length - 106mm; Width - 45mm
-
Light | Length 5mm; Width - 2mm
-
-
-
Here in the final stage, all of the main components have been separated, whether it was through force or a Phillips-head screwdriver.
-
All of the main parts were cut from the motherboard in order to neatly illustrate what is being used.
-
Motherboard | Length - 50mm; Width - 32mm
-
Propeller Motor | Length - 45mm; Width - 15mm
-
On/Off Switch | Length - 18mm; Width - 4mm
-
Rear Propeller Motor | Length - 27mm; Width - 9mm
-
Charging Point | Length - 17mm; Width - 15mm
-
Rear Light | Length - 28mm; Width - 11mm
-
-
-
Here, I made a tally with all of the screw details from each section, which I'll now outline.
-
Phillips Head 2.5 | Head - 3.2mm; Shaft - 2.5mm; Thread - 7
-
Phillips Head 6.5 | Head - 3.1mm; Shaft - 6.5mm; Thread - 12
-
Phillips Head 7.5 | Head - 3.2mm; Shaft - 7.5mm; Thread - 9
-
Phillips Head 4.5 | Head - 3.3mm; Shaft - 4.5mm; Thread - 9
-
Phillips Head 5.5 | Head - 3.3mm; Shaft - 5.5mm; Thread - 6
-
Phillips Head 5 | Head - 3.2mm; Shaft - 5mm; Thread - 6
-
Phillips Head 3 | Head - 3.3mm; Shaft - 3mm; Thread - 7

Hey Max, I'm just going through and fixing a couple of grammar errors with this. Very nice teardown guide nonetheless!
