Remind me next time not to try a stall turn in my tiny garden, I tried it and flew into the wall of the house, clipped the corner of the house with tail motor, now the plastic case that hold the motor on os broke first time I have broken anything on it, so its laid up, and I gotta find somewhere to get the spares from

You gotta be kidding me Kev?

Have you got any idea of what trouble youre going to be in for breaking the MCPX code, never ever admit it has failed in some way!

How can you possibly break an unbreakable Heli? And can't You just make replacement parts from 2mm carbon rods?

[Snake_uk]

thats probably the only part I've not broken on mine, did i say break i meant loosened slightly :-)

[matt t]

kev gliders in newark do the tail assembly

Guy, you do make me laugh

Had the same mishap with my mcpx, there I was quiet happy hovering away when the wall of a house jumped in the way of the tail as I was turning, broke both of the tail motor wires.
New tail boom including motor, fin & cable is £10.99 from midland heli's & about the same price from fastlads.

is it the plastic part that holds the motor to the boom? if so i might have one for you, free of charge, or swap for a trex 600 pro.

[challis349]

It is indeed that little plastic part, lol

[psychosaffa]

cool so you wanna swap then???? lol
pm me your postal address and ill pop it in the post in the morning

[challis349]

Thanks mate for part, arrived today, will get all fixed up and flying again later, thanks again

[psychosaffa]

No worries guy.
Glad I finally get the chance to help someone after receiving loads of help myself.

I 'loosened' one of the bullet blades on mine this morning in another inverted altercation with a patio slab - no one local has any so I ended up using my £4.00 E bay voucher to go towards two sets - just in case I 'loosen' any more. They were the original set and must have 100 odd crashes, so most of the white paint had gone and the ends had started to resemble a raptors end wing feathers, so was time for a change anyway. Oh well I've still got the originally fitted acrobatic blades in the box, so not grounded just yet!

Doh, feathering shaft massively bent, hence the crazy wobbling on cyclic movement, fast lads order time, is it worth upgrading the bearing to 250 bearings?

[Nick B]

My main motor died after approxamitly 150 flights,hey kev,i broke a tail and just glued it back in the boom with epoxy!

[MiniMarsh]

how the hell can you bend a mainshaft? are you sure you checked the maingear didnt slip down a bit, that can cuase a shake if its not tight up
