Status: offline 		yep thats a stripped servo. ive had one myself already due to my lack of flying skills.

flew another 2 battery packs today and this heli hovers great and its very stable even with the flybar weights removed it hovers easier then most sims.

Status: offline 		I am having a great time with my black hawk. there is not anything i want to change but i notice most people eventually get into change outs and upgrades. sounds good though i might just get a second one in a couple of months. if i go with mutliple helicopters either another receiver or a radio system for both would make sense.
Happy New Year

Status: offline 		all my upgrades wich now im just flying with the dx6, logitech 2100t gyro and the 9650 tail servo it is working perfect but it was very close to this stock setup so im going back to all stock. the rest of the stuff i bought and havnt put on the BH is all going on my trex.

i think with the stock set up the best thing to upgrade would be the tail servo if that.

Status: offline 		worst wreck ive had was today, after 3 full battery packs with good hovering i got to brave and the heli ended up in between some cars at work and instead of trying to recover i had to hit the kill switch and the heli was at a angle and 5 feet up.

bent main shaft, bent spindle, bent tail boom, bent alloy blade grip, bent flybar, bent alloy landing gear stuts, bent skids, broken flybar paddle, broken plastic ball link, broken servo, broken chassis set and a ding in my blades and bent the lipo battery like a banana.

good news is the blades will live lol, bent the blade grip back as well i bent the landing struts back, even the lipo got bent back, had a spare align tail boom that i cut down to fit, straightened the flybar, had a spare mainshaft,spindle, skids, ball link, chassis set, and the original orange flybar paddles waiting and installed.

took 5 hours to rebuild her but shes airworthy as we speak, even the lipo recharged as normal.

all in all im so glad i got this heli. [besides how good it flys] it took less the 20 bucks to get it in the air again lol

Status: offline 		I'm more than impressed with this little beast, MY dad got jealous and ordered one. My first wrek happened practicing spin ups and downs I finished about 5 mins successfully then put my throttle hold on and approached the heli and for some stupid reason while reaching for my battery plug my other hand turned off the TX even after reading a 1000 times the start up and shut down procedure. Don't think I'll forget now! I think Im only down a ball link main gear and a 1-way bearing maybe a belt for good measure. Im thinking about getting the dx6 is there any draw backs to it, I had a feeling the radio would be an issue due to where I live and it is I live near 3 factorys and 2 distribution centers and a rail yard right between sat and sunday it worked awesome but so far this week tons of glitching just tiny little twitches, Id like to take the stock raido and set it up on a plane I could use at my grand mas house she lives in tim-buk-too.

There are some drawbacks to the DX6. The biggest for Helis would be the 3 point pich and thoddle curves most helis use 5 points. Another would be that If you decide latter to get into bigger Helis the DX6 is not recommended(its intended for park fliers. I would go with the DX7 or Futaba 6EX.

Status: offline 		did notice this heli does not like a loose belt. with a loose belt there was some tail wagging right to left.

i did 2 battery packs tonight before i tightened it, i did spin up and it seems to be better so we,ll see

Status: offline 		Well I know I'll want to get into bigger helis later so thanks for the advice, I'll have to save up a little more. The weather is so wet here now I'm thinking I just want to upgrade the radio so I can learn to do all the programing and setup of the heli so when I do start to crash and burn I won't be going to school, less down time. When I order my radio Im going to get some tools too like blade balancer, and pitch gauge what are some other things that will be needed to build helis later down the road? Your suggestions are verry much appriciated thanks.
