I am a newbie to R/C helos, I got one of those styrofoam Air Hogs and enjoyed it so much I wanted bigger......well I got the Falcon 40. I flew it about an hour on day one, nothing nore than a 3-5 sec hover, but on day two I got a little better, 6- 10 sec hover never more than about a foot off the ground. I got brave and went for two feet and CRASH!!!!! Well the rotor core broke, now its a week till I can get parts from Cali, I am in Georgia.

Does anyone know a good parts supplier on the east coast? Hobby-Lobby does not carry this helo, I could only find parts at xheli.com and Radiantech.com (both in CA). I highly recommended getting spare parts with this model!!

Thanks!

1st you do know that the Walkera DF#4 part will work right, Falcon 40 is basically a canopy color scheme mod with some marketing.

Heres who I use now and recommend, in fact I'm still waiting on parts from Raidnetech I ordered before Christmas!!!!!

Location is Central USA I recall, but still ships fast so you'll still get your parts in a timely manner.

Pretty sure this guy advertises here on RCU as well.

Hope you get back in the air soon.

Yeah, no problem at all.

I remember when RC and me was a tiny operation but even back then the service was excellent. I am to the point now in this hobby where price does matter somewhat, but service means a lot more to me.

In fact yesterday, I had a problem with a battery vendor due to the fact they sent the wrong item. I shot him a photo of what I recieved and he's sending me the correct replacement but told me to keep the wrong one as a "Freebie" for my trouble.

That wrong battery was worth $70.00 and I've already found another use for it, its just not going into a heli thats all.

Hope you get in the air soon...
