Default RE: Heli-Max Axe 100CP Tail Boom!

Hey ya'll since there wasn't a very overwhelming response, I researched a little more, and found the answer. This should help anyone else in the future who doesnt have the slightest idea.

The answer is quite simple:

The tail boom literally just slides into the main frame. It slides in about a half inch and sits pretty snug inside the main frame's opening. I'm guessing because of the helis small size, the vibrations are not a real issue. My problem was that my tail boom snapped right where the boom enters the main frame, making it appear that there was no opening, rather a flush area on the main frame.

A pair of cuticle cutters later, and the remaining tailboom was out. Another $6 later, at the LHS, I had a new tailboom assembly with motor.

So these little helis have come a long way and are sturdy. They wont take the hardest of hits, but it's a good thing to know that the entire set-up breaks down pretty easily and the parts are cheap. Hope this helps. Keep jamming the sticks!
