    Edmund totally agree about the TG, I removed it about a month and a half of flying with it. Felt after a while that it was causing the heli to be unbalanced.

        I broke the LG on my 500. Not sure quite when but I discovered it after my first "real" crash. However, I'd done a few heavy landings on it before but, as it was a hairline crack in the section where the skids went thru, I didn't notice it.

        I've put a 700 tail fin on my 600 - bit more sticking out to help prevent the tail rotor striking the ground.

          I did this on my Vortex as the skids were already broken so it did the splits on any landing.Was supposed to be a temp fix till i got some new ones but as yet i havent replaced them after 6 monthes.It only a light weight contra though so perhaps wouldent do it on something with a bit more weight.
