[vanman]

i've had 2 of them since day 1 and haven't worn anything out.

it would be wrong of me to comment on them too much but if you want specific info i'll try to assist.

cheers

Started with problems but I am getting to love it...

Not being Biased but get one... be different from the Align Stable and with all the "issues" addressed now... you definately wont go wrong!

I havent flown mine as much as I wish too but thus far i'm chuffed I did a few mods for peace of mind and vanity, lol but more than happy with it. I've had align in the past and decided that id like to try a brand I liked but in a .90.

People generally get brand orientated and stick with what they like imo, but suffice to say I would recommend it.

Coincidentally I was talking only an hour ago to my best mate bhumiatara at 3d masters in venlo who is competing with the velocity 90. He showed me his heli that's done 50 flights and all is tight. Il upload a pic tomorow of his heli

thanks for the replys so far a silly question do you have to split the frames to get the engine and fuel tank out i know you can replace the clunk line with the tank still in the frames as the fuel nipple is on the outside of the frame and is the torque tube drive all sorted as i have seen a few threads that a bolt has came out and drive to the tail has been lost . and are they easy to work on ,as in replacing the main shalft bearings and so on keep the info coming thanks Rodney

no you don't split the frames to get the engine out. you don't even need to take the UC off, infact i leave my carb on aswell (OS HZ)

when you install the torque tube bolts just put heatshrink over them-job done.

cheers

Nice and easy to work on, a bit of care has to be taken when fitting everything in to get it nice and neat,

Paul is correct I had mine out the other day to remove a shim from the head its is a ball ache put it that way but it can be done just a fiddle on.....you will never get a heli that's 100% out the box zippidy doo da - heck they can't get a car out a factory to work right half the time...it just a part of the manufacturering & development process.

Though i dont own one myself, my mate does (gashead on here) and i have flown it a couple of times and is superb.
In fact he has got rid of his other 90 nitros and is just keeping this one, so that must say something
