To handofdume......so what did you have to do? Send the heli back to Heli-Max? It looks like that's what I will have to do as the LHS doesn't want to deal with it. That is one LHS that I will never pruchase a radio, engine, heli, or plane from again. I have only had the AXE for something like 2 weeks or a little more. I have the receipt and everything. Oh well if that is what it take that's what I have to do.
