This helicopter is so fragile! [X(] So far, I have broken 5 rotor blades from what I would consider to be casual bumps that my MCX would have taken in stride. I also broke the nubs off of the rotor head, which I replaced with small sections of RC car body pins. Finally, the landing gear and battery holder have also snapped and seem to resist CA repair.

Flight was very difficult to get centered with the trims on this second heli, so I marked the two pots on the ESC with a sharpie marker and tried to make slight adjustments. Now, the gyro is so far out of whack now that it will not fly at all, even after I returned the settings to their original locations. It tries to skitter across the ground if I take off slowly and flies uncontrollably in quick circles if I lift quickly into the air, resulting in ridiculous flight patterns and eventually crash landings.

I have a friend who knows a good deal more than me about helicopters, so I'm hoping he will help with the gyro on New Year's day, but if not I'm selling it as a parts bird/needs tweeking on Ebay.
