I have noticed that the spindle gets bent, real easy like. I thought for a while you could only get it in the Center Hub & Spindle Set: BCP
EFLH1145 ( http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=EFLH1145 $9.99 ), but have found (and for some reason, doesn't come up in the bcp stuff), is the EFLH1143. Spindle only, was 4.99 at the LHS).

Also, since the alum frame is c**P so far, i think i will try the http://www.heli-fever.com/product_in...roducts_id=128. That with some cf rod and the alum (or maybe dd) tail, and you can save some $$ replacing the frame. Which, IMHO, is the weak point. Why, oh why design it so it has all this neat releif work that makes it WEAKER. Just mold the back as one solid piece, maybe $0.00000005 cents more plastic (or something like that). You know what i mean, solid. And put a darn holding screw in there.
