Hey, thanks for answering my question Andy. Was getting a little worried that you did'nt see my post. If you could possibly help me understand how to disasemble the heli to take out the main shaft, that would help alottttttt, as I am still a little new to this heli setup. As far as I can see, I would just need to unbutton the servo linkages, and then unscrew the top linkages which connect the flybar to the swash plate linkages, then pop off the flybar ( I think I've tryed this before and i was afraid i would breake it), then I would unscrew the main rotor blade head metal assembly by loosening the alan screw with an alan wrench, then slide off the main blades (by the way, itseems that there is athree pronged shaft at the top.....does this need special care?), then it look like Ican slide off the whole swash plate assembly (though I hope this does not hurt any of the swash plate bearings), then I would have to loosenthe second alan wrench fitting near the shaft, then............. well, I don't know how Iwould take it out, because the main large gear is still underneath the shaft mounting plate, but still above the heli frame?

As far as Ican see, just sittinghere looking at it, that's what seems to be needing to bedone. If I am wronganywhere, pleaselet me know, and sorry for asking all the questions. I just really want this heli to get fixed. Thanks for taking your time out ofyourday to help me. You don't realizehow much this means to meto get away from my high school life and just fly heli. Thanks much!!!
