Default TIP on finding parts or even a Helicopter

Hi Fellas,

Just a quick tip on finding parts for your helicopter. Or interests in a new one. Hope this helps some of the noobies, and all.

Just go to google.com and enter the part number for what you're looking for.. IE: Say your looking for a Bell Control Arm Set for a Belt-CP. The stock number is EK1-0516... Just enter that in the address bar in google.com and you'll have a host of sites, that carries that part. However, be aware, and check that the site is a reliable one.

Same with a helicopter, just enter IE: Belt-Cp or Lama V4, etc, whichever helicopter your looking for.

To those that chime in, list some of the reliable sites that you have dealt with..helps everyone.

Take care and Blue Skies,

Dave / Choppersrule

Thanks Crusader23 and Nitrohog for the input

Hopefully, we''ll get a BIG list of good reliable dealers. Always have to shop around for the best prices, and who has what in stock, for the helicopter you have. Helihobby, probably has one of the biggest inventories I''ve seen. However, still gotta watch the wallet.

Here''s a couple more:

http://helihobby.com/

Crusader23, you have my vote, (and thanks very much)

Tbonesurdaddy,

Here's a link to 3, 4 , 5 and 6 blade rotor heads. They are not inexpensive. The Blade 400 main shaft is 5 mm in diameter, so any of there products should fit okay. Check the details. When getting into multiple rotor head configurations, it's generally used for Scale Helicopters, and not for any Agressive or any Type of 3d flying.

Here's the link: http://www.centuryheli.com/products/...?currentid=350

Here's what I googled to fine 'em: "multiple rotor head +rc" , minus the quotation marks.

Hope this will help ya,

Dave
