  1. Did my neighbour break myhelicopter?

I believe he then stood on my helicopter (so that i could not make the same mistake twice) The pole that supports both propellers is bent to the left.

  2. Spektrum DX7s range issues

    by , 16-03-2012 at 08:40 PM
    Has anyone had any range issues with the DX7s, I recently bought one did a rqange test and it was OK, then flew my heli and it was OK, the second flight transmitter lost contact after around 150mtrs resulting in a crash, I then tried another range test and after 30 paces lost contact with the receiver. I am using a AR7000 DSM2 receiver. Looks like I will have to return it to Horizon Hobby. :-(

    • The length of a button head screw is the thread, excluding the button
    • The length of a countersunk head screw (those with a cone-shaped head and matching pre-drilled holes) are measured including the head, from end to end.
    • The lowest main shaft bearing mount and the front bevel gear mounting
