Welcome, bokken I am a retired Marine and spent some time in Denmark and that area of the world and enjoyed it !! Vikings are fighters I LIKE that !! Nice start on scale heli's so far, I have a Airwolf that has raptor mech. nitro, and I plan to convert to T-rex 600 electric some time soon. T -Rex's are a good way to start for sure, good luck and enjoy the forums!!!

Fram ! Kristmenn , Krossmenn , Kongsmenn ! translated Forward,Forward, christsmen,crossmen,kingsmen ! How cool is that !

Hi people, Peerinto here. Ya know with all the time, energy & money that we spend and put into this hobby, one would think that the industry would be a little more helpful when it comes to parts for some of the products that they produce. Or at least let people know from the beginning that with a particular heli fuselage that they will not be making any replacement parts. I am saying this because I went and purchased from HeliArtist, now to be fair I won it on e-bay. But still it was from the parent company. I put the thing together and went outside to fly it, It was a sight to see. Airwolf with my T-Rex 500 inside, smiles for miles was had by everyone. Now about five months later as the saying goes, what goes up.

Well people I had a hard landing and then my search for parts began. Now all I needed was the stabilizer for the left and right along with the fins that attach to them. I got in contact with the company (in Hong Kong) and they told me they were very sorry for the mishap but they could sell me another window for the front of the canopy. (Dah) I don't need that. You know, they gave me the impression that I was lying. So now goes my search all over the net and all I find is the parts that I need, are sold out. This has been a year ago. So the company that makes the Airwolf does not make spare parts. By being sold out, I am given the impression that many people are ordering it and they can't keep it in stock, but that's not the answer. They are not making the part. I think the part is something that is needed by many people. Why not make more.

Peerinto, Supply and Demand that is the name of the game over in china, the last thing on there mind is customer service ! Sorry to hear about the Airwolf. How about making your own out of wood or some plastic ? get some black and white paint and make us all proud here ?
And when you have made your own, you can thumb your nose at those chinese !!

Hello,
Just joined myself! Your Hueys look great and I love the idea of an Airwolf Fuse! (I am an ardent fan of Airwolf as well!)
Regards.
