Default RE: What is it?

Thanks Tony,

Well, I had a knowledgable heli friend come around and inspect it today, he thinks it'll fly once I replace a broken linkage, but he was concerned there was no Radius Arm Stay fitted to this model (I think that's what it is called, the guide for the rear of the swashplate). I guess all helis need one? Or does this model omit it in the design? There is just a ball there and no peg to slot into the (missing?) guide....

I think I'll have a few steady hovers and circuits before I crash it.... (famous last words) .... and need to order more parts.

Also, it looks like this model has no tail rotor in auto-rotation due to the design, is this correct, and if so that means a hasty landing with no yaw control ?

Still not sure what it is?
