    How many of your helicopters are awaiting repairs? If any. If there are any that have not been repaired for along time - why?

    I currently have my TREX 550 out of action due to a failed one way bearing (again). Its not repaired because everytime the weekend comes I think OMG I have not ordered the one way bearing and if i order now i wont get it until next week anyway!

    So what about you? Howmany of your heli fleet are MIA

      My 550 is done. After the last crash I had with it which broke both frames, I decided not to repair it again. I pulled the electronics off of it and gave the airframe away. So I`m down to two helicopters until my TSA 600E gets here.

      Two right now, My T600E and a 450Pro...

      The 600 has been down for a few weeks, and it sits on the bench now, I have a box of upgrades for it, so I have been procrastinating the repair, because it's really so much more than that... The 450Pro has ended up donating parts to other machines, that makes it get further from repair than closer? :rolleyes:

      I think we need a heli-fairy. Imagine crashing your helicopter then in the morning you find it magically repaired! Wouldn't that be awesome! Does anyone know a heli-fairy?

      Today my MCPX elevator servo failed 8 flights in. So I flew the MINProtos, decided to the the right thing and replace the belt - all was going fine untill tthe last moment when I inserted the shaft retainer screw ... sigh...it snaped rendering my main shaft useless. So after all that I came home ready to repair my MiniP only to find - no main shaft. However on the upside I fixed the MCPX. Sigh, such is life.

      I sure hate to have to wait for parts... Here in the US we have a running battle to keep Gaui Parts, and MSH parts in stock, I am not sure who is worse...

      I find I need to stockpile parts, as I despise OOS notices!

      Trex 500, 450 & 600le. A quad. Can't be fcked. To happy with the old Velocity. Still looks like new & fly's awesome. Although had lots of problems today with the OS105. Pissed of because we had the hole field to our selves. Should have burnt though 4 liters today.
