Hey Dude glad to hear of succes! As for replacement parts it realy depends on what you break cause i have not broken so many parts! But it seems like the shaft that goes through the tail prop could stand to be tougher (mines busted and thats all im waiting on to fly it again), the main gear goes in varios ways (mine has one stripped gear on upper ring for tail out-put, but i have heard of the side poping), if you land hard alot you might want new landing gear. oh and uh BLADES yeah the motor has enough torque to take 'em off at the stump  . I kept expecting the tail to come flying appart, but this has not happened. i have replaced many shaft pins and pitch pins, but I think its almost a safety feature to have the shaft pins shear, in some instances they are called shear pins cause they shear under load, like a mechanical fuse. Personaly once you get that closehanger wire in there, mod up the landing gear like in my last post, and use a ping-pong ball/babboo skewer out the back along past the tail prop, its TOUGH  enough for my bothmy numb thumbs! save your money till you break some parts unless you have a burning hole in you pocket and are forced onto ebay to purchase a transmitter, reciever, esc and gyro! Hmm that would be 100 150 to go seperates ? It really makes those oem parts look expensive. I want to put a hornet ccpm head on mine or just get a bare bones 22a from rc expert, so realy even my tail shaft is gonna wait! Trying to stay under a certain budget realy limits the fun you can have with these so my new strategy is incramental, but with more thought out increments cause what i realy wanna do is fly 3d. And its just plain not cheap, so im learning to limit my desires and my expectations of these less expensive helies and figure a little time in the shop goes a real long way.

RE: Dragonfly 22D i Need Help - 
(the truth comes out). This has been a main area of research for a bit. it seems like the gyro goes in between the tail servo and the receiver. Anybody else know what a hornet seperates circut diagram looks like?? This would be great info for us 22D/Aers.
