Evening Davideh2:
I am looking at buying the same thing, but it is available from a US based company. So the shipping will be considerably less. And it will arrive a lot faster.

I may wait a little while an go for the gusto and get this one.

The second one is apearantly the same as the Copter-X. It is a bit more expensive.

Hey Disney 1,
Thanks for the info. I had looked at both of these but opted for the RC Fever kit. From recent posts I thought there were some concerns as to whether or not the cncheli kit was actual Esky parts. I agree, they look exactly alike to me, but they don't give the Esky part #'s. The second one from cncheli I definitely would have bought if I was positive it was compatible, especially being pre-assembled. It looks more like a Trex head and I don't know if that is a problem or not. If anyone is flying this rotor head assembly on the Belt CP I would love to know.

Oh, and shipping was only $11 with a couple of other things I got. Received e-mail that order was processed next day. Compared to a couple of other experiences I've had with China based companies that's not bad.

Ok i take off and she starts a fast drift left, i know this happens but its verrrry quick, it also spins clock wise so im guessing its the tail
rotor causing that. it does it in a 2ft hover too, what kind of pitch should i have on the tail rotor? im guessing i would keep lessening it untill i get it right.

also the locknuts on the holders bind real early so i cant get any tension on the blades,

Does anyone have a link to where i can get the grommet inserts for the blades to help dampen vibration?

Cheers

I just put on K and B tail blades, and let me tell you what, My tail is locked I bet it would make the stock gyro work better , I can fly backwards with no tail input, just wanted to let everyone know.

I'm a little out of touch on this thread and may have missed something, but, wouldn't you be better off getting rid of the vibration instead of just covering it up?

Hey guys, did my bearing upgrade on the main shaft and tail. Awesome! and smooth as silk. I went with the slightly thicker TRex 600 ABEC 3 bearings and had to dremel down the metal portion(bottom) of the main gear hub, as they are 4MM thick, however they fit right in the same holes fine. I had a good ABEC 1, 3MM (closed face) bearing from a King and put that in the middle bearing spot and used the ABEC 3s on the top and bottom. I put the ceramic bearings in the tail. I will eventually upgrade all the bearings as it provides very smooth operation. The CNC washout has superior bearings then the plastic one I found out after I pulled my plastic one. I knew nothing about bearings until I did a little research and found the higher the ABEC number, the tighter the tolerence and smoother the bearing. Heli Direct has ABEC 3s and Ceramics(best) just check your Belt manual for the correct size bearings.

Morning All:
I live in Orlando, I ordered on Wednesday pm, and the order from USHOBBYSUPPLY (they are in the Washington DC area) came in on Friday pm, Thats qiick, also He shipped them the same day. Prices on parts are and very good too. Now to put the Belt back together and try again.
For all us us that are still learning, He plastic blades for learning on that are almost indestructable, I have scrapped mine up several times, all I do is soften the blade tip scrapes with a nail file and re balance the blades. They still fly like new. and they are CHEAP $6.50.
