There's already supposed to be a CNC pully in the works for the top of that assembly. It's listed in the back of the RTF manual. I just wish they'd hurry with all the CNC parts. If something needs replaced that can be upgraded with metal or CF, I'd rather do that than replace it with plastic.
Actually, no there is no plan to make this a CNC part. Just about every part is going to be CNC except this one. This is not the tail piece and is nowhere near the rotor blades, it's exactly opposite and inside the frame. I contacted the manufacture and they told me there are no plans to make that a CNC part which is pretty much crap.
yes the gyro is junk will not hold, is it worth putting into the ground over a cheap gyro, its a good price on the bird so they hsd to cut conners, i got the futaba 401 and the tail never moves unless i move it,for the money with out servo it a good buy for a pieace of mind, ive been doing good bout 15 flights in but was flying today and was bringing back to my and all the sudden the rear tail blade grips fell off, got to looking and the bolts that hold gripps on sheared off throwing my bird into circles but i didnt panic i hit thro, hold and minal damage bout 30 doll. but im like u guys i want to replace my parts with cnc, where can they be found???
Correct, without any question this gyro is total junk and the 401 is outstanding for the price. I tried to order the CNC parts from Towerhobbies.com but they are not set to ship to them until June or July so expect to have to wait and remember this Heli is fairly new still. They are trying to compete with the Blade 400 and they did a good job but they need to come out with the CNC parts and a darn carbon fiber frame for this thing. Yesterday my landing gear screws stripped so the back of the landing gear came lose, I'm going to use some bolts with nuts to put them back on as you should NOT expoxy or glue these. I love this heli so far but I'm already eying my next heli with a carbon fiber frame and CNC parts, I'll probably get the EXI 500 or the Genesis 450PE after some research. I want a bigger Heli so it's easier to work on, easier to see in the air and more stable in flight (i.e. wind etc).
Anyone have any experience with the EXI 500 or the Genesis 450PE? Any recommendations? I know everyone loves the TREX 450 and 500 right? Josh.
