the main gear is slightly damaged from my familization with the transmitter. I accidentally pressed IDEl button and the throttle turned maximum. The strange part is that it was fine after that. Now there is a bit of problem. So could you tell me if there is anything wrong other than the main gear?
If I were to replace the main gear I would need help to replace it. Right now, I see about 2 to 4 teeth completely broken off and a little bit left for 3 to 6 teeth. Rest are fine. Is there non-plastic main gear? I am going to buy the spare part before summer and willing to get it flying just fine till April.
There are more videos of the problem but it's not yet being uploaded to youtube. [It's been 3 hours]
I thank you for your prior advices and I appreciate your time and effort to help me better. If you could inspect the videos carefully and tell me what's wrong I'll find that very helpful.
the fact that you're missing 2 to 4 teeth and parts of another 6
IS THE PROBLEM.
lol, you cannot fly a heli with broken teeth on the gear... none, zero, nada... this is completely baffling to me that you would even consider it and that you're wondering what your problem with the heli is...
change the gear or you're going to have another crash which will break even more parts.
is it just me or is this not obvious??
the reason the gear is plastic is because it's a cheap part, try to imagine what would happen if you had a steel gear and hit the idle up??? you would trash your motor which costs 5 times more than the gear, or you would have broken some part of the head or even if it all held together you would have had instant 3000 rpm and probably destroyed the heli from that.
