Mike, for the rubber grommet on the tail rotor get a peice of fuel tubing for a RC nitro engine and just cut a small peice off slide it on the tail rotor shaft and your good to go. People have also cut the eraser off a pencil, drilled a small hole in it and used those. I have never found a source for the actual rubber grommet itself. If your are going to replace your stock skids with the Super Skids your can use the small tubing from your stock skids. The Super Skids are a wise investment. The flybar paddles should be level with each other and the leading edge should face the same direction as the leading edge of the main blades.

Hi Guys,

I had my Falcon 40 delivered a few days ago and I have been lurking around this post trying to read up on it. I already managed to bust my landing skid strut while trying to trim it in, it seems that the SuperSkid is a good replacement from the stock skids so ill most likely be ordering that instead of replacing the OEM. I am curious if there are any other commonly replaced items that i could also purchase to cut down on my shipping costs. Also, i somehow lost the little rubber stopper that hold the tail rotor on. I have looked on US Hobby Supply and could not find a replacement, am I stuck purchasing a new tail rotor assembly?

My roommate also just made a comment about the Flybar paddles. For some reason the leading edges (which i assume is the fatter end similar to an airplane) are aimed in different direction, shouldn't they follow each other around the rotation?

Any assistance you can provide will be most appreciated,
Mike Mackenzie

I lost that stopper as well, once you put the Super Skids on use a half of one of the pieces of clear rubber tubing from the old skids.

Yeah, we heard you the first time, why not try the marketplace rather than posting it here twice in 2 days (that's how I traded my nito truck for an HB King 2), in most forums it's frowned upon posting for sale stuff in the general/tech discussion areas.

Try the classifieds section http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/default.asp?forumid=282
or the marketplace http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/sell-1.cfm

While it's a great suggestion to try the marketplace, I for one think that reply was just a tad harsh. Perhaps just offering the suggestion without the perceived cynicism may help get your point across.

I suppose it could be percieved that way, wasn't my intent. Happens alot on forums, you can't tell someones mood, some people see a suggestion, some see harshness. I added a smily face to the post to lighten it up.

Wow, I'm out of town for a week and 3 pages of posts!!!!

It took me 6 months of constant learning to get the heli in a good hover for a whole pack. But what a feeling it was when I did.

These fixed pitch birds require alot of patience, but once you master the hovering basics, you are golden for larger heli's. There really is no better trainer out there. The coax's (cx2, lama, 5#5) are great fun, but do not require the skill set that single fixed pitch heli's do!

Flew my beltcp some at a customers house last sunday, the wind was 10-15, but I did ok. Not alot of room in the front driveway/street, but enough to get a small flight in.

Cheers all,
Michael

I've been doing pretty good with the training skids, decided to remove them and see how things went, not well at all! I don't have a smooth surface outside to fly, just a paved bank parking lot that is
