J Perkins RC Helicopter Training Aids & Setup Gear

Whether you’re mastering your first hover or brushing up on low‑level manoeuvres, our RC Helicopter Training Aids help make early flights steadier and more forgiving. Choose from classic cross‑rod training gear with foam balls, landing aids and setup tools that reduce tip‑overs and build confidence fast.

We stock popular options from J Perkins alongside compatible parts for 250–700 size helis. As a guide, pick a training gear diameter roughly 1.5–2× your main rotor, and match rod material to your needs: carbon for stiffness and low weight, fibreglass for flexibility and value. Foam balls protect skids and improve orientation; bright colours help you spot attitude changes.

Fitting is quick: strap or clamp the hub to your skids, check clearances, then perform a gentle spool‑up on a smooth surface. Pair with a pitch gauge and blade balancer to keep tracking true—good setup shortens the time you’ll need the gear.
