Help I can't stop!

Someone please take away my credit card! hehe. In the last couple of weeks I went on a heli spending rampage.

Seriously, I bought a HK500GT heli cause it was so cheap, $69. I feel so ripped off when I bought my Flasher PE 450 now. Also bought a DX6i TX cause I was just sick and tired of the run-around I got when I bought the cheapass Art-Tech TX from my LHS.

I also coulnd't resist the HK250 for $29 too so I picked one up.

Now I have too many helis, HBv2, 250,450,500. I guess it's good to have some spares I guess :)

For my 500, I have a motor, gyro, servos, but still need an ESC and battery.

Don't feel alone. About the time I say this is the last purchase I find myself online looking at just these two more pieces. Of course I need the swash leveling tool for the new EXI 500 but I can't just buy that and pay for shipping maybe I'll add the greaser. Then I'm going to have to shop for grease. Then spare parts for the 500! Somebody stop me!

Maybe the vaccine will be ready soon for the Heli-itus pandemic! My bank account can't stand the outbreak.

Dammit!!!! I made an order of spare parts for my EXI 500 and I forgot about the swash leveler!!!
Your not alone guys; it is truly a pandemic!

In the last 2 to 3 weeks I have made orders from heli-direct, hobbycity, x-heli, e-bay, and a-main-hobbies for stuff for my 4 helis!!!! As much as I hate paying shipping costs (because I think of the parts I could have spent THAT money on); no one place had everything I needed.

I hate to think of how much I will spend once I actually know how to REALLY fly these things!!!

Now it seems I have to place another order! Oh woe is me said the man with too many helis and too little time.

Hey Cget, Greaser????

This looks like a great tool for maintaining your bearings. If you fly a lot bearings are going to start going bad. If you maintain them you will save some money. This device will allow you to replace the grease in sealed bearings without disturbing the seal on the bearing.

Another $40 or so to add to your order. It is available from these two dealers that I know of:

http://www.rcheliworkz.com/product.asp?specific=113207 (These guys I haven't ordered from)

http://www.ronlund.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=heli&Product_Code=GREASER (These guys I have ordered from great service!)

I'm still trying to decide to what kind of grease to use if (when) I order one.

Sorry to add to your shopping cart. Hopefully the vaccine will be ready soon!

This hobby gets expensive for sure. Even with stores like HK that drove down the price of parts to a manageable price range, you end up getting multiple heli's. I bought kits to build but still need batts, gyros, etc to get it going.

we should get one of these...


In my case... it is sooo good I'm not married

i know right i maxed out my CC buying so many heli's and parts and i only started this hobby in august

I have the same story....What we need is a special heli Credit card with super
low intrest. I am so maxed out from this summer I cant afford to fix my Esmart.
The funny part is I only need a mainshaft and motor bearings and she would fly...

Thats like a $20 bill. I try to tell myself to cool it because next year will be here soon enough.

your in Washington State right? always windy and rainy for the most part there??

Yeah, But I am in the desert so not much rain but always wind. In the summer
If I get up at 5am I can fly at sunrise without wind. Other than that its windy
every day all day.

I'm pressing REALLY HARD to get the upgraded main shafts made (and feathering shafts), They told me they are actually making them but they need to be manufactured in china so they will take longer to make. But when they are available I'll give you one of mine because they'll be sending me a few, hopefully, lol

I hate to tell you this but I was recently informed by the voices in my head that there is no vaccine available and the only cure is too buy more heli stuff

wait, thats not a cure

I couldn't find any grease that I was sure would work on my 500 build today so I came home and ordered the greaser and a tube of the recomended grease.

On the other hand no crashes this weekend and made some good progress on my flying. I guess the 500 build is on hold until the grease comes in. I want to do the thrust bearings in the head and tail.
