Need a part for an E-500/Big Lama
I had one of the stabilizer weights come off my E-500while flying this evening and have had no luck finding it. I also know from previous searching for a sparethat the stabilizer bar assembly. Esky part 000659, is out of stock everywhere I've tried. Any one have any suggestions on where to get a weight or stabilizer set? Or maybe you have a weight in your misc. parts bin from a crashed heli.
Thanks,
Roger

I'll check my spare parts box. Same thing happened to me sometime back. Not sure what I did with the old one when I bought new. I'll look tomorrow. Butch

RE: Need a part for an E-500/Big Lama
Thanks for the offerbjethier and the info. aircrash but talk about lucky, I found the brass part in my heli tool box in my workroom this morning. I was flying in the yard and the door was open, the brass weight flew in the door bounced off the door to the garage and fell into the tool box. After finding that part I surmised that the plastic part had to come off first and couldn't have gone far from where the heli came down, I was in the process of landing when it happened, so I started a circular search of the lawn and found it in abount 5 minutes.
I leave for a vacation cruise tomorrow and I wonder if my luck will carry over, I think I might give the cassino a try.

go for the casino, Roger. what's the odds that you found it. I never found mine. One thing I did that may interest you, is that I bought a used junk big lama for parts. Not really junk, he just gave up trying to make it fly. It's nice having the extra parts, right on hand, never pay for new and never have to wait for shipping. Have a nice vacation, Butch
