    Ok .... Nothing worse than putting it in first thing in the morning, yes i'm talking about the heli !! Kinda ruins the day and then to make matters worse you don't have the parts to fix it , Or you do but you have to spend a hour or so replacing servo gears, boom's, belts, checking for other things... Baaahhh what a waste of time .

    The Solution !!! Now if my 380 takes a dirt nap i can be back up and flying again in an average of 3 mins ...

    6 screws, 2 canopy mounts, two plugs and one bolt .. And it's going again ..

    Sure if i do a side frame , Or a plastic frame part such as the ESC holder it may add 3 mins to the repair time.. In that case no more than 6 mins to repair and be back up in the air !!!

    Then i can inspect the damage and fix the carnage at my own leisure ... I could have just built a spare gobby , but would have meant buying a motor, ESC and tail servo ... So i figured, no point as I'll only be out of the air or MAX 6 mins ..

      Sorry, didn't see those items not on the quick-change F1 unit. Hopefully you'll never need it!
