Hi Guys more for information than anything else! Mine came apart not sure exactly how but think it was in flight end result was a crash... If it was in flight no reason to believe otherwise does anyone think Rcer are liable?
I am real p*ssed off so many problems and only had it 5 mins flown once crashed once.............
Bang there goes my no crash in 3 year record :-(

Sorry to hear that mate..Was gonna make a comedy comment but not on this occasion:(

The 450 had problems with the old design swashplate seperating in flight, and I'm sure I heard of Align UK replacing damaged crash parts for free.
But, I suspect that a valid receipt of purchase etc would have to be produced.
I knackered a Swift motor once, by using the screws supplied in my new kit (Now yours:) ) they were just too long thus destroying the motor windings internally.
I considered century absolutely to blame, and fair play they offered to replace the motor free of charge but...I had no valid authorised dealer receipt as I bought it off ebay.

They simply then didn't want to know.:rolleyes:

Hi Gazza have a similar problem with a model shop close to me with a plank that the wife purchased for me. Mate went with her to buy it he hid and built it and i got it for x'mas. This is the funny part reply from supplier/importer"sorry as you got it second hand there is no warrenty on second hand goods" How bloody stupid is that! Well with regards the DRAGON yes it was new but flown once. The outer ring with bearing came away clean from inner.

Yeah that's what the 450 swashes were doing.
You could try and get the receipt and try and do it thru the shop it was purchased from.

Or...You could go thru Rcer themselves but I dare say all the paperwork would need to be produced:( Good luck either way though Steve
