RE: Replacement Parts Kit
lol I'm only up to
1 blade grip
1 set of main rotor blades
1 roll of pinstripping tape
1 canopy holder (that carbon piece)
I had to cut that down to make a new Tail Rotor shaft. used an xacto knife and just rolled the blade where I wanted the length and after about a minute picked it up and snapped it off Clean break. Kind of like how you would cut glass. score the glass and then break it. Worked like a champ. I did notice that helimax went ahead and really thought about which parts were in the " Driveline" or "damage line" and used weaker parts to help save us Noobs in the long run. I agree anything in the top rotor with ball links is very weak. I'll be stocking up on most of these parts. had my heli tip today and run my new blades into the pavemet so now they are not new anymore but they are still in good shape and in balance.
At one point I read that blades from the Blade Cx will fit this copter what truth is there to that and if so does anyone have some part numbers? My LHS carries blade Cx parts. or else I can drive 1 hr to another shop to get the other parts for the AXE. I'd rather use the shop thats 5 minutes from my house. Which stocks the Blade Cx parts. I asked them to see if they can start stocking the Axe Cp parts and he's a stubborn old man that won't. So I'm stuck with driving an hour every other day for parts unless i can find a loop hole in the parts matching.
