After a few members told me about these servos, I hit up Jason over at Banggood to see if I could get my hands on them. He agreed and sent them to me. In the video below, I explain the servos which are already installed in my SE V2. If it could have gone wrong, it did go wrong on this video...

Well with this quick check video, that should never happen again.
There are a number of things that you need to pay close attention to when building a clone helicopter. You MUST check every bolt and nut on the helicopter to make sure it's tight. You MUST put thread lock on every bolt going into metal. And if you are running a TT tail, you MUST replace the tail...

Building a “Not So cheap†Helicopter
I am sure that you have read our “Cheapest helicopter buildâ€, and you say to yourself “I don’t want a cheap helicopter, but I don’t want to spend $500 eitherâ€. That is exactly what this article is all about. I know that I would never purchase...
