  • Best tools to have in your Flight Box

    Hello guys, i have a question and need to help with what Hex Driver Set to get? I bought once (still use them) a cheap multi set from my LHS costed me under tena. And up until recently i found out how crap they are when i needed to unscrew metal plates at he tail of mechanical driven tail in one of my Trex 600 Nitro. and i bugged up 3 screws in the row (dont think its the fault of thread lock) even one of the 1.5 Hex Driver broke just show how cheap they are.

    So my question what set to buy for being cheap and reliable enough(hardened steal) ?

    Cheers,
    Sergey

          Align use screws made of cheese...


          Enough said.

          If you've owned an Align heli for more than a month and are still using the kit screws you need help or you've never crashed or done any maintenance

                Either will suffice If I were one for splitting hairs and being vulgar(which I'm not) I'd have said shit

                    The ball end drivers won't be as positive, but are very useful.

                    The regular keys should be as +ve as anything.

                    Good people to deal with, do good fasteners, etc.
