This just makes me less worried about crashing this heli
Parts are very hard to find for it but I have enough to last a while now

Personally I would keep them if the parts are getting that hard to find. besides you maybe hard pressed top find a buyer, unless you have one already.

Had to pull the engine out of it this morning to fix the clutch hub . The OWB for the starter shaft was slipping not letting the motor turn over
Ripped one of the Orings on the header when I pulled the pipe off NOT a HAPPY Camper

Something out of balance or is it coming from the motor?

Had to go and move the Gyro sensor to the back of the frame on the boom block took care of the vibe problem
And I was able to hover it for a few minutes out in front of the house . With some tuning of the gyro it would fly nicely
But I dont know if IM a fan of the nitro bird Lots of work to do before and after a flight kinda takes all the fun out of it

The fuel can fuel pump and the starter out weigh the packs any day
Plus going over the heli and checking everything all the time . Its Nothing Like my 550 that was set up 2 years ago and still in one peace
all I do to it is oil the bearings every 6 to 8 flights I guess I need to strip it down and rebuild it now thats its getting old
