    Worst Heli Job?

    I'm still a relative newcomer to this game and have only ever worked on a few helis but can I nominate "replacing the mainframes on a Raptor 50" for the title of "worst heli job ever"?

    Happy to hear any other nominations from those who've been around helis for a bit longer and "enjoyed" other models!

    I'll go with that...

    Just had to change the bearings and starter shaft in the raptor 50 what a pain having to pull the frames apart to change it all.

    and why is it you always have bits left over ? or you loose a screw....

      Replacing the frames on a knight 3D is worse. The servos and other electrics are fitted to the side frames so these need removing also.

                            Try to figure out how to get you Blade 400 back when it's in a 20 foot tree. ok not really a worst job but I thought at one point I may have to leave her there

                              Getting married, getting divorced....... what's the point?

                              Just find a woman you hate and buy her a house. Job done.
