Everybody knows what assuming something does to you. If you don't check it to make sure its done then it usually isn't done and will bite you. this happened to me this morning i assumed that the blade grips were locktited from factory wrong that heli really did blow up peaces everywhere the scary part i was two feet away looking at tracking on blades cause they didn't look right gee wonder why ? had to buy more eflite parts for the eagle 50 today I'm thinking this bird will make good paper weight very soon.

I fully agree with you when i put it back together everything got a fresh coat of locktite now am waiting for parts again it has its own size ball links none to be found here at LHS will have to make 300 mile round trip to get some but did put blade cp tail blade on it fits perfectly. And yes the next mod is getting fresh lock tight on every thing too its almost done

All I'm missing to get eagle in the air are the ball links they are in the kitchen some where but can't find them. But am watching the volcano ash fall out before i go to Anchorage to get new ball links don't want to dust my truck engine so far all ash is going away from us .
