hello i own a venture 30.almost through 1 gallon of fuel.i have a stupid question, does this have thrust bearings or what?i have looked at the manual and it looks like it does.i have puchased the thrust bearings,dampner set,tail pitch lever,alum washout base,flybar control arm,limited slip auto hub,all of this is the ksj stuff.i purchased all of this for later.after several flights i have noticed that the head seems to have some play.is it time to tear it down and install all of the upgrades?are there anymore i should purchased ,or have i wasted my money? any input would be appriciated.thanks please help.....don russell.

Hey Bent,

The venture doesn't have thrust bearings in the head, my blades started sagging a bit after about 3 gallons of fuel, and when i called Heliproz, they told me install some new rubber dampners and since then i've had no problems. The ksj parts are always a good upgrade from what i've been told and i've installed the aluminum tail pitch lever and the tail slide from them and have had great results.

thanks, sorry it took so long to get back to you.well i dumped it today and now i guess i have a reason to use these parts.well what happend i was hovering and it done a crazy downward thing then flipped over.radio interferance???thanks don
