RE: Will changing paddle angle affect windy day performance?
Yes, all of the electronics are fine, as is the head minus the flybar and feathering shaft. I'm just not inclined to spend the $40 on parts and 3-4 hours to rebuild the thing when I know it will still be as junky a helicopter as it was before. And I'm certainly not inclined to spend $100 upgrading it into something better when I can buy an all around better airframe with parts I can get locally for the same money or less. I'll be getting a Trex clone simply because parts are everywhere for them.
