  • Is there an alloy tail control arm available yet?

    I've seen the sliders and probably will invest but I haven't seen an ally control arm yet

    I've been keeping an eye on micro/lynx/rakon/hawk and not seen one yet, but micro and rakon particularly are rolling out new bits practically weekly now. Its only time before you can make most of the bits in ally (and probably more than double the cost of the heli in the process).

      Pinch of Salt, where abouts in the SW are you???

      Yes Rakon and others are churning out loads of new bits, we have lots of exciting new bits coming in the next few weeks!!! But sadly no metal control arm, however im not sure it 100% necessary???

        not sure it'd work either as it pops over the ball on the slider - it'd be like having metal linkage ends.

        you'd need a bushing and perhaps a re-designed tail slider with a pin rather than ball.

          Hey Mark G, Just go for the grommet/o ring job, between the control arm ball and the plastic ball link on the end of the pushrod, and it gets rid of 95% of slop, then just go fly it like you stole it, once you fit the metal tail pitch slider that gets rid of 95% of the other slop too,

            I see Rakon just brought out centre hub, main blade grips, and cnc swash... over to you kyle

            I do agree that once you have a few bits to sort the tail only magpies need more cnc..
