Well, I didn't have any of those spare parts, but now I have repared most of it so I'm just waiting for the postoffice to open. smokingele

And to you Nuttcaze, I use to check that before every fligth. But it must have broke during the flight.
I have been seeing most of your videos. And thanks to you, and Slyster, I've been able to get the heli in the air whitout to many crashes flyaway

I've been building scale airplanes from blueprints for years, and flying them.
But a heli is a very different thing happyno

So after I was back in my truck I needed something else to do, and I started to fly helis. So thanks a million, to you and all the rest of the people who's on div. forums around. smiley-happy088

Instead of using super glue on the swashplate, I took a very small peice of Scotch tape(1/8 to3/16). Lay it between te two sufaces and press them together. Will not come apart again. I did this to mine a year ago and still flying! US flag

Well first of all: sorry for my late reply.
But on my last trip, my computer desided to let me down and stopped working.

So I didn't have any contact with the web.
My heli is repared, and I used the parts I ordered before easter.
I have also repared the broken one, like Nuttcaze shows on the video.
But I don''t think I'm going to use it orange78

for the tips from you
