Status: offline 		Sand blows down, the curls up around the helicopter, then is sucked through the blades and mechanics. It keep recirculating, and acting like rubbing compound. This was worse when we used to fly glow powered machines, as the oil from the exhuast would mix with it and really make a mess.

I am sure that it would make a good cushion in a crash, but just not the direction I would chose to go.

Dennis,

51 more rolls this morning, with between 5-6 of the reasonably flat (and some that really sucked BIG TIME!). The Honeybee collective is now so sloppy that I will probably have to break down and attempt to roll the VNR3D. It is still virgin (at least as far as aerobatics go) so I am still overcautious with it.

Keep us posted as to your progress.

Status: offline 		I suppose it has to be this way then... I just hate waiting for the parts. The VNR3D is so new, the parts are not available yet, so it's going to be a couple of weeks probably... Supposedly, within a month, all the parts will be readily available, even from Tower. Whatever you do, don't crash your VNR3D just yet. LOL Dennis

On the bright side, I have learned alot about the rotor head assembly, how it works, and how to work on it. It's a piece of cake now... I just need more frosting. LOL

Status: offline 		Will do Clem... Don't wad up the VNR3D, for a while at least. LOL The only rolls I can do are with my Super Stearman Biplane, but im bored with it and my Piper Cub. They both have Saito 4 strokes on them by the way. I hate 2 strokes !!! The only 2 stroke I own now is on my Revo. I never get bored with it. They are bad to the bone fast, and tough as nails...

Status: offline 		the new version does, have the 2 arms also on the 22e, and on the picture thing, you can post pictures right off your computer, the only way to do it on this forum is instead of going to the fast reply box on the bottom of the forum, just click on any message reply, or quote. when you do this you will see on the bottom left of the text box it will say upload. Click on that and you can load from your computer, and attach the pictures easily.

Status: offline 		Dennis,

Venom just announced that the parts are in! I am going to get a couple of sets of blade grips for spares (I managed to find the linkage set, the flybar tray, and the see-saw).

Ace,

Someone had a thread with pictures. Suffice to say, the control paddles actually have "22#D" molded into them. Does this sound familiar?

I also got a look at an assembled Hornet X3D and the parts look like they might fit as well (I cannot swear to it).

Status: offline 		The hornet super head appears the same, but is quite a bit different when you get it in your hands, I dont know if the hornet2, and the hornet x3d are the same or not. Thats why I was wondering the measurements of the vnr3d, To see if they measure the same. I Know on the hornet 2 the blade grips only have a bearing on one side, and the other free floats, and the drive shaft rod is shorter, and a few other changes, I will post some more details, and pictures in a few days, I am just waiting till I can complete my upgrades before I post pics. I hope we can find what parts interchange to help you, and others that want more options for parts, and upgrades.

Status: offline 		Well technically they don't make one for the 22e either, however with a little bit of McGiver work, (as you would say) It fit mine. I will send pics in the near future. It is the hornet superhead, and will cost you around $$$180$$$ But I think it is better than breaking parts so much, Plus it flies smoother. As far as breaking parts go, I have only crashed a couple of times since I got it, And all still is good, They were light crashes but, It was enough it would have normally broke a ball off the blade grip, or seesaw. I'm sure if you Had a bad crash it would have to bend or twist something, but So far it works great!

Status: offline 		My heli was only $150 new, so the Upgrade made me nervous, but it is well worth it after some mods, my first thoughts were not so good, it is not the best design on the blade grips, but after some modifications, It is working out great. I like the most not having to order parts and wait after every other crash so to me it is worth the money, but it is a gamble if it will fit, so that is something else to think about.

Status: offline 		The way I figure, once I learn hown to fly, I won't need very many parts. Im a boreing pilot to say the least... I leave all the stunt work to the guys with sharp minds. I learned a long time ago with my fixed wing planes, if I don't screw around, I don't crash, so I don't even fly my Super Stearman inverted. Im a sissy pilot, but I have been flying the same plane for over 3 years, so it pays off in the long run... My friend Gerg (taught me to fly) asked me one day if I wanted to learn how to do a snap roll. I said "you bet !!!, get your plane ready... LOL

No flying for me today-I was up almost all night with a customer service issue, and I am not flying my machine with little or not sleep!

Dennis,

Have you checked the RC Groups thread recently? It is up to about 15 pages, if memory serves.
