First off when i got the CP it wouldn't take off unless you put the throttle stick about 7/8ths of the way up. That sounds a little abnormal to me but i didn't really take too much note of it. Then today (i got it yesterday) i went out flying. My back yard was a little windy but i learned in my living room how to basically fly it. So i went outside and i had a small table and iw as landing on it. So i crashed it once. Then when i was bending down the idle up switch flicked on and the heli went to full power and spun itself to death. The rear shart is cracked enough that i dont feel like flying it and risking it breaking. The thing vibrates like mad due in part to the fact that the main gear is wobeling when you power it up. So now that it doesnt really work i took it up to my LHS which has some pretty good people (i know them all personally, they gave me a job oppertunity next summer) but because it was a sunday they kinda had their second rate crew. I went to the helicopter section and asked the guy if he knew anything about the helicopter. He said yes, naturally, and proceded to show me how little he knew. First he pluged the battery in and didnt wait for it to inistalize he just kept moving the controls. I told him that he wasnt doing it right and in the end i had to forcable remove his hands from my controler and let the thing get booted up. Then he brough it up to full power to prove that my gear didnt work and to further mess up my tail motor and the strut. Then he started blabbering about the mythical ECU that i could control and it would solve all my problems. I think he ment ESC but last time i checked there was no way to minupliate the ESC inside the 3-1. At this time i was just pissed off and so i left to come back on tuesday (when the guy who knows thigns about helicopters is in). So, any idea on what parts to fix? I know the tail boom needs to be fixed but also what about the tail gear and the tail prop. That came off in the crash too and i think that there supposed to be gueld together. So, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
