ORIGINAL: drdenny Not only missing the short link, but the ball is gone as well. Ouch! That's right. You and Parkflyer saw it right away, but I didn't know any better. I bought this used ($50) and that's the way it came. It looks great, but things were missing. The ball on the Rotating Frame is gone, so I didn't think there was supposed to be another link. I ordered a bunch of parts from ParkflyerRTF (my 3rd order from him) and one of them was a new Rotating Frame. I ordered it because one of the set screw holes is a little stripped on mine, then I noticed the other ball on the picture of the new one. If I'd have seen this yesterday, I would have added a short link to my order It also didn't come with collars on the flybar, so I got those. The swashplate didn't come with a brass ball, so I ordered another swashplate because it's the cheapest way to get the ball. It didn't have the head stiffener, so I ordered a new head with one and while I was at it, I ordered another main gear so I'd have the updated one with the metal bottom. Even in the condition it was in, I was able to do a stable hover for a few seconds at a time, and I'm a beginner. With the upgraded parts, I hope it's easier to fly. I want to feel comfortable with this before I try flying my DF36. Where can I find metal head parts for this?
