E=Smart 600 Fun-Key Bell 222
I bought this Fun-Key Bell 222 From a guy leave the hobby. I want to put my E-Smart 600 in it. Any help would be appreciated. Must repair places that have holes, window are already glued in with a lot of glue. I think they are in with canopy glue because it is still tacky. No landing gear. or hole have been covered over. Not been able to find replacement parts on the Century Web site. Thanks Charles

Nose was cut off before I got it, but it needs to come off anyway. The sides where it was cut was pretty soft not much support. Plywood gives it some support and aligns the nose with the body. I will Zpoxy the plywood in the nose and the body after I get closer. Now I will be able to remove the nose for repairs or to connect the batteries.

I started fly helis about 1 year 10 months I am a newbie. The plane crash was a friend of mine I don't fly planes yet. I do have a Lancair that there is video on but it wasn't me flying it. There were a lot of problems, balance, setup, he was pretty new too. How long have you been flying?

RE: E=Smart 600 Fun-Key Bell 222
ive been flying for just a few months really. ive had a blade cx 2 and over a year now but havent had much time to fly it. although didnt take me more than a day or so to get pretty good with it. so went and got a honeybee FP and have been working on it. but here lately its been way too windy and rainy to fly it. i can control the hb decent but if it gets too far away from me i have some trouble seeing it and get all turned around when it faces me and usually crash. i wanna get something bigger. i usually do better with more complicated challenges.

Esky are good to start with but in the long run I would pickup some of these clones of the trex out Hobbyking http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...Helicopter_Kit I have a friend in the UK he has one in his MD 500 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwli_...er_profilepage He said all the parts can be used from the Trex 450, parts you can get anywhere. I still have my HBK V2 and it flies but all the money I spent on it could of been used better.

Pitot tube The tip in a ball point tip from a pen. The next part is the plug of a skid. I cut a piece of brass thin flat brass for the base. Cut brass rod, drilled one end for the skid plug and ground the other side on a belt sander to contour for the curve in the base. Solder it with soft solder and a acetylene torch. Drill a hole from the inside of the plug for the pen tip to slide in. I think it's a bit long but I will use it anyway.
