RE: 1/2A fuel

Thanks for the replys. It is sort of annoying that they don't have a complete breakdown of what they're putting in their mix, except for Sig and Glowplugboy, which I ordered this afternoon. I...

RE: Microheli weighted grips work on Blade 130x

Got my Lynx hub/tailshaft unit in and it's really nice. I didn't have to use my spacers for the MH weighted tail grips. They fit perfectly with no play after tightening the screws. No binding either....

RE: Microheli weighted grips work on Blade 130x

It bent about 3/8ths of an inch from the hub.Obviously it'snot unusual for shafts to bend in a crash but I feel that the metallurgy in this sample was just not strong enough for the minor accident it...

RE: Microheli weighted grips work on Blade 130x

I'm happy with my MH weighted tail grips also but the MH tail shaft that came as a unit with the blade grips has a lot to be desired. Earlier this afternoon a gust of wind blew it down into the grass...

RE: Blade 130X wobble

I still had a little wobble in the main rotor so I tightened up the blades a little more and it completely went away. I've been watching it close for the last eight flights and it's still good....

RE: 130x tail

Have you tried substituting the swash grommets with the spare canopy grommets that came with your heli? It seems to do the trick for a lot of people. One thing I discovered this evening. I could take...

RE: Blade 130X wobble

I have read that one source of wobble is the swash linkages are too sloppy with the existing grommets that are on the swash from the factory. A popular fix ( and it's been mentioned pretty...

RE: Blade 130X wobble

I just discovered another little tidbit of info. I took off my CF tail boom because I'll be replacing the tailbox with a Rakon heli upgrade.
   To my surprise the tailboom was completely split in...

RE: Blade 130X wobble

New update:  My tail started to jitter back and forth violently during a recent flight. I replaced C and D gears along with new metal A gear. I made sure that the tail boom was adjusted so there...

RE: Blade 130X wobble

RE: Blade 130X wobble

The problem has been solved. I went ahead and put my old gear in and flew it. Couldn't wait. Still shook around like crazy which means the tailbox treatment didn't work either, so I decided to go to...

RE: Blade 130X wobble

Actually, based on the advice of my LHS owner, the grommet swap was the first thing I did when I got the heli. Like you said, I just substituted the o-rings for the canopy grommets to eliminate the...

RE: Blade 130X wobble

I'll see what I can do. I just ordered one of the new optional metal tail gears if for no other reason just to have a more resilient gear. Since it's apart I'll wait until Tuesday when the new gear...

RE: Blade 130X Upgrades

Any idea when your Hughes 300 kit is coming for the 120? It could probably be retrofitted to the 130X</p>
