I do really find it hard to comprehend that I should buy a spare eagle 50 for spare parts just in case the original one I have purchased does'nt work. I have never come across that way of thinking before. One would assume that when you buy a new product it would be in working order. I fully understand that there will be a need for spare parts along the way, but I think it would be a fair comment to say that my original purchase (of the eagle 50 ) should have been usable for some period of time before replacing parts. The thing is dangerous. All I can say is that I was lucky I was outside when it first occurred. The information you have given me to date has been very much appreciated, but I do think that the companies that sell these products should maybe look at quality control a little closer. What would my rights be if that out of control heli hit someone or something and did damage or injury?
