Thanks a lot lads for all the info and encouragement. Looking forward now to a few good flights.

Just an update to my Agile 5.5. I have fitted a new tail servo, bevel gear and new tail blades after my last calamity. I also took the opportunity to have a look at the torque tube drive and I found a split rubber damper that was the cause of noise and vibs in the tube. That was replaced and I...

That's really great Tony. Go forth and enjoy. Cheers

I knew that was my problem. I'm still struggling with Blade msrx lol. Kill a few light bulbs with that baby I can tell you. Cheers

Yes I think this love affair is over, we're not speaking anymore lol. It's no good when your lover tries to chop your naggers off is it.

I know, I know. Still can't believe I did it. Should have had a couple of stitches but superglue and good plasters lol. I could kick myself for being so bloody, not thats not the word I was bloody, I could just kick myself. Those bevel gears will not take any form of hit being metal against...

What happens when you spend the day on a repair. Remove the head twice, install brand new tail blades at a price that would set your wallet on fire. Took the boom apart and found poorly fitted dampers on the torque tube. Change the bevel gear so it now runs real smooth. What happens if you...

You mentioned the flying,,,,,,,,,,what flying. I got a Agile 5.5 and so far I'm still in the nightmare,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,awaiting spares. One thing though about this heli it's going to last for ever. It never gets more than a few feet off the ground before something goes wrong lol. Send some of...

Hi Westy nice to hear from you again. Not the one for goss but did you hear about.................................................lol All the best from a wet and windy Wales. Hope your keeping well mate.

Have a good one Graham. They say it's all down hill from now on but with your hobby I think you will find it's all up in the air lol

Great pics Lee. I see they have a helicopter table in one of the pics, how thoughtful.

I'm past all that now, this baby gonna fly or burn. I'll let you all know.

Brilliant!

Yes chuffed in one way and pissed off in another lol Sent for a cheapo servo, cheapo is a relative term I like to use in front of the wife lol

Yes standard size. I have Align ds525m but a little on the small side unfortunatly.

Hi stokke, yes I run linear pitch 0 to 100.

Hi stokke, well that remains to be seen lol. I think the first bevel did break but not the rest. It did put me off what was actually happening. I should video all my flights then I would have known the sequence of events. Bit of a bummer but at least I know what's going on now. I would send this...

At last I have discovered the reason for my disastrous foray into the larger and more expensive helicopter. Found the reason today. It was and is an intermittent fault on the tail servo. What a bummer. It came to light when the heli was about 20 feet off the deck. It just started spinning...

Hi all, Another silly question. I fly my heli without govenor just on a 90% across the board setting. What I have noticed is the head speed changes when I go from IU1 to IU2 when in fact all the settings are the same. I can not work out why the heads speed should change. It runs slower in IU2...

That is so cool Graham. Your son must be chuffed.
