I'll be home in an hour or so to look and will comment then also.

Status: offline 		Mini Cwik,
I had a hard time with it drifting a bit after a crash, I had one form a Trex I was working on so I just changed it out. During the same tme mike suggested checking that the tail hadnt twisted at all it had move a bit and I straightened it so I'm not sure if the gyro was the problem. Later (after the rest of the parts arrived0 I put that gyro on the trex and have been trying to get the setup right, The tail seems to be holding fine but I havent done more than some short hover / hops.

Status: offline 		Does anyone know how to remove the tail hub from the shaft???

I need to get that off to replace a part that broke and removed the grub screw but it's not budging ... help?

Spoke with Mike at Ka-Planes, who thinks that my gyro is bad and is sending me a new one ... through testing the tail pitch yoke plate (with the eye bolts) broke so I am needing to replace that - HP05-P018 is the P/N. Mike is a great guy and I highly recommend him, his service is A+!

Status: offline 		I have the manual to see how it goes together, but how do you get that dang hub piece off?

There is loctite down in there ... do I heat it up to loosen it?

Status: offline 		Correct TomOver I have a small butane torch and just hit it for a few seconds and it was off like gravy

Can't wait to get the gyro replacement and tail pitch replacement and get this heli airborne

Status: offline 		Gyros are definitely a key factor and I think a good one is very important. Futabas and Telebee/Align are a couple of the well known ones.

Status: offline 		Has anyone gone through tail pieces quickly? I've snapped tail blade grip (tips) and the pitch piece that has the eyelets connected to it.

Is there a T-rex compatible replacement? Or a metal upgrade for these pieces?

I'm waiting on a replacement gyro from Ka-Planes and will have it all working soon ... and cannot wait!

Status: offline 		the pitch slider on the metal tail also has the plastic that the eyelets screw into. You could replace the tail assy with an all metal rex one. However, once you get this thing going you should be ok.
