Best Place for Parts
Hi everyone Noob flyer here
I just purchased a Axe Cp and got everything hooked up and started flying, yea i know not the best one for a noob flyer but i figured
i would take it slow and do the hover thing first then work my way up.
One problem my 4 year old decided she wanted to sit next to me while i practiced, as i was watching the helo, she decided it would be fun to play with the
levers, needless to say....BLAM chopper took a dive
So now after having it for about uhhhhh 4 hours, i have many pieces to replace. I am looking for replacement parts...Stock, until i actually learn to fly this thing
so any info on good places to buy would be greatly appreciated.
On btw great posts on the forums, seems like there are a lot of people who help out, i am so glad i found this forum
Thanks in Advance

P.S. Any advice for the first time flyer would be great too.

RE: Best Place for Parts
I get most of the stock parts as well as upgrades from Hobby Shack. OK, OK, Hobby People. They have a store in Rancho Cucamonga.

Of course there is Towerhobbies.com
May I make a suggestion, pick up two of each broken part. That way you will have a spare and wont have to stop flying and wait for parts after your crashes. Yes you will crash, I crash, we all crash. Pick up a couple of sets of blade holders and center hubs. So far I like it when the center hubs break, it does not bend the main shaft. It is easy to change the center hub.
Lots of fun and frustration in a little package. It am having a good time with mine.
