If you get the huey- be sure to break the engine in for real...
I searched forever for my similar .049 powered heli when the engine broke in in flight and flew into the hay field two pastures over.

those *******s!

well maybe the helicopters are still around.. I wonder how just the rotor assy would fly without the useless body hanging below...

Actually, you can get really great performance out of those 'copters. Yes, a lighter body would be a good thing, I propose a "roadkill" profile of Foamcore, clearcoated with Oil Based Urethane clear.

THEN, cut the blades off near the root, and make new blades of 3/32" balsa about 1.5" wide and 12" long. Make some new little tip weights and balance them so they just fall forward at rest. Goop adhesive should stick the blades to the old hub parts.
