    love the heli! wonderful and explained review! This review is worth 1000 times more than the youtubers promoting these helis raving about them, but not giving detailed specifications... is it possible to connect an independent receiver and variator? like a flysky?
    Do you think the heli ESC will last more than 50 flights without burning out or failing?
    greetings

      Hey thanks for visiting Mickey RC and thanks for the props. I’m a newbie to RC and this was my first helicopter so I am not the right person to ask. Sorry. I wish I had better luck receiving a working helicopter from Banggood instead of a defective and unsafe one 😢. Always wishing others have good luck with theirs🤞🏽. Thanks again, Mark

    Thank you for the video, I need to make the same repairs due to the fly away issue and that's another issue I have to address later. I'm having an issue getting the two halves apart on the tail boom. Feels like it's glued but yours just popped off no problem. Maybe I have to man handle it or find a tool to pry open. I just don't want to damage it further.

    • @emem1613
      @emem1613  Před 4 měsíci

      Sorry to hear about your fly away 😢 I had to remove 2 screws on tail boom closest to the fuselage and 2 screws holding the rudder/horizontal stabilizer onto the tail boom. After that, it separated nicely. Hoping your repair goes well.

    what is best way to take off the trial rotor blade. I think I can use needle nose plieurs to hold it to remove the screw.the screw is stuck.I want to replace the rotor blade with the yellow tip blade .I try to but it didnt work. I will leave it alone.

    • @emem1613
      @emem1613  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes. Hold the rotor blade and prevent it from spinning while removing the screw. I hope it’s not stripped. 🙏🏽

    I'm working on replacing the drive gear right now. I crashed and it broke the gear and screw. I had to look at your video to see how the exhaust pipe fits in. I think I was doing it backwards. Where did you get the cap screw or did you reuse the one that was in it. I bought a screw kit but it didn't have a cap screw.

    • @emem1613
      @emem1613  Před měsícem

      Hi J Wood! Sorry about your crash. Yeah, I initially put in the exhaust piece backwards but fixed it because the 2 halves wouldn’t align correctly. The exhaust piece simply rests in the grooves. Good luck on your repair and hoping your helicopter flies again! 😊, Mark
