Default RE: Need Help, Identify this Heli

EvanRCU:

I may not know the proper name for some of the parts but here is what I can tell you. If you look at the photos you will see a couple of aluminum pieces that are just below the fly bar. The alum. pieces cover the plastic arms that tie the fly bar to the swash plate. Also, the ball links on the swash plate have broken. I believe that I can replace the ball links with some items I have and I can make new links, but a new swash plate would be helpful. The third item I need is a little hard to describe. I have attached a few photos that try to highlight the broken parts. If the photos loaded in order, then the first photo is of an arm with a ball link. This connects to the swash plate. Both of these arms are OK. The second photo is of a link that is OK but the one for the other side is broken and I need a replacement. The third photo is of the swash plate (I believe that is what is called). As you can see, one of the ball links is broken and I believe that I can repair this with a DuBro ball link. The last photo is of a link that connects the swash plate to the fly bar. Basically, I need the link shown in the last photo and the arm to which that link connects. If you could help with the terminology, I would greatly appreciate it. I have put in a call to a local heli guy but have not yet heard from him.

Thanks for your help,
Ed
