OK, just opened a box with lots of spare parts. The heli is nearly back together, but I'll be 'outa' town for the weekend. Can't wait to get this thing back in the air. Next time I'm gonna try the cheaper tail motors. Got 2 spare OEMs now.

This thing needs a belt drive tail. Been thinkin about an external belt or shaft drive system. Can't come up with a workable solution as the frames too restrictive. Not enough working room. Winter project...
