    hey nozz i just crashed mine and bent the heck out of the tail boom tube. tried to replace it with a t-rex one but it is about 1/2 inch too short. anyway to tighten the belt you need to get a very small phillips screwdriver and loosen the four frame bolts around the tail boom.(they were all on the right side of the frame when looking from the tail rotor forward to the nose. then just give a light tug to snug up the belt. not too much or you'll draw extra power off your battery. then just tighten the the four frame bolts back up checking the belt tension as you go.

    all my screws have gone flat,,.. my electric screw driver wore down all the screws and they dont come out now.

    and my heli started shaking for no reason now..
    it becomes hardly noticable when the head speed is high but im still not sure if its ok

    your blades are probably loose or out of alignment. when mine were too loose they'd make that thing shake like crazy until the headspeed straighened them out.

    ok what main shafts will work on this heli. also what tail boom to use. and what heli has matching plastic control bars.

    well like i said the t-rex was too short so i went to www.hobby-estore.com. they have all the parts i need and are in the good ole U.S of A. i haven't done business with them before but they are closer than japan and express shipping is available for $22 bucks i think.


    p.s. these are walkera parts so whether they fit or not shouldn't be a question.

    hey guys,this question is probably way too late.has anyone ever heard of anything wrong with hobby-estore.com or anything good ...there in Los Angeles, California....that's where I purchased my number 36 helicopter....does anyone know of any feedback from this company.they were sending me e-mails at five o'clock in the morning saying my helicopter was delayed because my extra parts were out of stock....than an hour later 6 a.m. in the morning...they sent my final confirmation saying it was sent.my order was placed on the 10th..and I got my confirmation last night the 19th...pretty slow.I'm a bit worried I hope somebody knows something about them.I'll wait for someone to post.

    Hi Guys

    couple of quick questions

    1) does any one no much about the pro -peak prodigy 2 charger is it ant good etc

    2)noz had a tail servo problem before, i still have one, ihave put new TOWER PRO servos in my heli but the tail servo is still wrong it seems to travel further to the right than the left,and the servo is slow to set back to its center position some times doesnt at all as if it is sticking, so the tail blades arnt always flat sometimes they pitch to them when i dont want them tohope that makes sense, has anyone else seen this please help i have tried all sorts,have also played with gyro settings still no joy

    please help

    cheers

    ok switch the unlabeled switch on the gyro, one of the little black ones, that's what it does as it's walkera's fudged "heading hold mode" also check the trims, this is a problem sometimes. now besides that, just remove the thing, and fly. I have some psycological problems when I took off my training gear, smashing my main shaft(s) in short order. It could cause the same thing for you, but you have full control over the heli. you just CAN"T have your mind on something else. if you do, well your screwed. try it some time. then you'll know when the heli will lose power due to a slight movement of the tail during precision flying.

    Yo guys, i think iv sorted my tail problem................i was powering up and the heli would fun fine......and just as i lifted off the tail just span around to the right ................My tail belt was loose.......with help from the other guys i fixed it and now it runs great again......yo borisboy, i'd check your tail belt tension, also put the servo arm on in the correct place....unscrew the servo arm and pop it off, then move the tail rotor to the position you want (center) by pushint the metal rod, then re-connect the servo arm, the servo arm will clip on in different places as there is a small gear inside so just play about with this until the servo gives the right tail pitch each way.....thanks guys and hope this helps

    No one has any ratings about Hobby-Estore.com .they seem realy nice ...im getting ---Walkera 36 Electric RC Pro Helicopter w/ Brushless Motor/Walkera 30A Brushless Actlyator(ESC) 3 X 11.1V 1800mAh re-chargeable Li-Po battery pack,and the tranmitter just kike yours...oh by the way did you see the walkera vid kenadams363445[1].wmv ...its good .all I could tell from watching was a different gyro/it flew really smooth ,looks like we all got a good machine, I have another video of 36 doing 3-D mildly though ...but it was smooth and stable....so I've never flown one yet but from what I've seen already the 36 going to be great .I can't wait it looks like a great machine for Park flying and these electrics helis need hardly any maintenance they just keep flying....brushless motor just don't supernova the coils then all you have to do is wait for a bearing to burn out..ha..sounds great to me.. tuning is difficult I'm talking to first-timers and novice pilots only and here's the reason you've all been waiting for( its catch 22)you can't tune a helicopter properly if you can't fly a helicopter properly, gee what a delema ...you will be tweaking it for months as you learn to fly better and learning more about setups...dynamic balancing of the main rotors huge effect....static is just a guide line always do it.though..y'all know to keep your shafts in perfect straight order....tune the load of the engine to perfectly match the pitch of the main rotors....that's your pitch curve and throttle curve..,someone in the form was asking where the balance point of the36 was can it be out a bit etc.....technically no....especially on our machines where mast bumping is not as good as the more precision rotor heads . And hey we're only 500 grams....so no matter what it's directly below the main rotor mast /with an excellent pitch curve/excellent dynamically balanced rotors/and tail /and your gears and belt drives are set perfectly /in check control linkage /smoothness stability are achieved.../and then flying becomes 10 times easier.nice machine...so take your time go easy because no one can really help you on a form about the feel of your machines stability or smoothness because that job is only for the pilot or unless some expert does it for him....then he's lucky.. you've got to be crazy to think they're tuned in any way out-of-the-box especially when you've just heard the specialized skill needed,okay you guys get their ,,,,,then your machines will practically fly themselves...ill post all the mechanical bugs as I find them and with photographs.remember there's a lot of little things in an RC chopper and if you tweak them all up now there's a machine .hoping I get my electronics in good condition...the machine looks great......later guys..
