Well about the swashplate separating problem from my previous post. I ended up repairing my bird like 3 times. Flew (sorta) three times and crashed the same way three times. After the three crashes i was fed up. I ended up calling raidentech and they told me that there was a problem with the rcvr/speed control units. Mine had burned up and would work just enough to allow the rotor to spin up and everything short of hovering.. It would spin up and you can pretty much go full throttle and NOTHING...then all the sudden it would get full power and fly as if gravity was suddenly shut off...I had to send my Eagle 50 back to them for a new one but they had gone out of stock...so they sent me an email and asked that I wait for 3 weeks (OR MORE!) for a new one....I asked for my money back...and that is how this heli story ends.....i would rather fly fixed wing anyway!
