how to replace parts?
I was just wondering where to to to see how to tear-down the Axe EZ? I need to replace the swash plate and am not sure exactly which screws and parts I need to loosen or remove to get the axel off, or how to get the parts off the axel. You see my problem. Anyway, just wondering if there is a video or walk-through somewhere out there. Thanks.
PS. if anyone is thinking of buying the EZ and has a nice big area to fly...don't. The EZ will not more forward for more than 15 or so feet and it will stabilize itself. Even with the control arms adjusted and the weights moved in, you dont get more than a few feet of forward movement. Get the CP-L, much longer learning curve, but better in larger areas. The EZ is for living rooms and small yards only. If you even had a remote control car, plane or boat...you will get the feel in no time.

RE: how to replace parts?
I noted that the above link is to the CP.
To get the shafts out of the EZ you need to pull the canopy pin and shuck the pod out of the body and pull the battery box.
The lower gear comes off with an allen key and the upper gear has two small screws on either side on the upper side of the gear. I will say watch for washers.
This releases the shafts and I think you will be able to see where to go from there. It has been a few days since I did this but I didn't find it hard. Those two little screws are fun to put back.
