Status: offline 		every thing except the reciever , i bought it off ebay aswell and so far had two recievers both faulty now i can not be bothered with it . it has the transmitter batterie spare set of main blades no charger and no reciever , so all you need to do is charge the batterie put ina good reciever trim it up and away you go.

I picked the whole thing up new for AU$145

Status: offline 		Zacc,
Not sure of the receiver issues but I had 2 servos on my 22E start messing up.. first one would chatter real bad when I spun it up and the second just died completely.. both servo issues were traced back to the little red wires inside the servo that are soldered to the small circuit board inside. The solder was too thick and with the combo of vibration and pressure on the wires, they would short onto the components on the circuit board. All I did was run a toothpick between the wires and the components to ensure there was plenty of space between them. That fixed it for me and have not had a problem since.. I was thinking of opening up my RX and inspecting the soldering/wires in there as well, but I haven't had a problem with mine...On looking on other threads, looks like inspecting soldering in the electrical components and ensuring that potential shorts are dealt with may have to be incorporated in initial inspection. Shouldn't have to go through that.. but then again the thing only costs $125.00.. they gotta cut costs somewhere.. I can certainly understand your frustration..

The sellers response was that it's impossible for the main rotor to hit the tail blades - unless you land too hard.

Has anyone heard of this happenning, as I said to him - if the servo arm broke, wouldnt it be possible?

Status: offline 		Hello,
Glad to finally find folks with 22e. I am new to this forum and to the 22e. I got it off the ground once and it drifted left - luckly i landed with no damaged. Since then I panic getting it off the ground since it seems to wants to go left. Anyways, I've order lots of spare parts cause i know i'll need them once i get the courage to go further - lol. Wots a good sim for the 22e? I have the pre-flight but i get fustrated cause the distance of the heli seems to just keep going away no matter what i do - it's either a bug or some setting that needs adjusting. I just wanna fly!

Status: offline 		yeah if the servo arm broke (which one?) anything's possible.. what the dealer is talking about (I think) is a boom strike.. when you land too hard the rotor flexes down and comes around and hits the tail boom.. I know all about those... It happens so fast, things seem to explode..in your case, it doesn't even seem like your heli left the ground.. am I wrong?

Status: offline 		stunner,
welcome aboard! yep thats what heli's do they want to go left...thats cause the tail rotor is making up for the torque of the main rotor..I hope you got a training kit with that order of parts.. there is also a really good training site that you should check out.. it is on this thr
