Hey Guys
Got some JR skids for my 117 And they fit the heli with very little modifacation to the crutch. All I did was drill pilot holes in the sides of the rear landing gear mount on the crutch and then took some bass ply and and made a 1/4" thick block to mount the front strut then, sanded the the front bulkhead down so the strut clears. Then glue the new mounting block to the spur gear side of the bulkhead seal the wood and remove those stupid battery clips( LOL ) and you are done.

I'm just finishing building my corona. I put the JR skids on last night. I didn't make any modification to the crutch at all, I just zip-tied through the holes on the front and back.
