Just one question!
Am I right in beleving that The Fethering shaft on the Blade 400 is the same as
the one on the Twister Storm 400? and most parts are interchangable?
Thanks for any advice!

No. You are wrong. The feathering shaft is different. But, they are the same size and are interchangeable. One breaks and loses all your bits and the other one bends. The Twister Storm one is the one that breaks. I think Boggy advised me to change to the Blade400 one.

The parts are pretty interchangeable, but often different in colour or shape. The frames are different and so the canopies may not fit. The tail servo location is different and the Blade400 pushrod does not fit the Twister Storm.

Thanks cj What you are saying that I can use a Blade 400 feathering shaft on my Storm 400
instead the Nuts on the Storm the Blade has Hex bolts?

as Chris says practicaly every thing is interchangable except the main frames. Yes you can use the feathering shaft and as you say it has bolts (internaly threaded) instead of externaly threaded nuts) Its a better shaft and far easier to fit and replace.(to change it just screw a flybar into it and use it to thread it through all the bearings/shims etc )

as far as the tail servo mounting is concerned you need to either use all blade or all storm components (brackets /rods etc) here imo the storm set up is better
