Considering restoring a Blade 400.. Parts?
Hi guys,
Long time no post here. I recently found my Phoenix RC dongle, allowing me to use the sim again, and it reminded me of the fun I used to have with my Blade 400. At one time I had purchased several that people were selling when they were just merely obsolete, maybe5 or so years ago.. Now, I am having trouble finding parts- period! Anyone know where to get a complete rotor head for one of these things? Any other parts?
What's a go-to gyro for one of these things these days? I used to fly with a Blade 450 gyro on my 400's before. Is there anything any better for me (not the best pilot!)
Thanks,
Jason

If you can find a used Futaba GY401 then you will love it. I had one on my B400 and it was the last gyro I ever needed.
EBay and the forum classifieds are probably your best bet for parts these days.
I no longer have my B400, but I'm still flying my Mini-Titans with a GY401
