How much is the bell. Sure you could fly it, but I see signs of stress. That could lead to a more costly solution to another problem. I mean... I wouldn't. I'd always be a bit worried and that doesn't make for a fun fly. Is it for a rappy? www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PV0671-1Even if that's not your model, they look to be fairly cheap. That's worth the peace of mind to me. |

owning an Align has taught me patience. I can get away with loosening some bolts and pulling out the clutch stack, but splitting it in half is really the best way. You can make little adjustments if necessary without having to stand on your head to do it, and you can see what you're doing. It's takes a little longer, not much really, but it's worth it to me. I use a mini cordless drill and slowly back the screws out. Makes my life easier.
Hot starting's a bitch. I've already had to replace the stock liner because of one. I had that burnt rubber smell in my nose for about a day. That's why we keep our hands on the blades during a start. I cringe when I see videos of guys starting their helis without their hands on the blades. One little concentration lapse... collective pegged out, or you accidently bumped the stunt mode switch...
