Early Fatherdays gift from the wife.

I got the stickers on. I'm in the market for Army men to hang on and in the heli.

That is lookin pretty nice now

 

[Geena]

Man....... That looks nice! have you f;own it yet?

 

[D.O.G.]

Thanks Geena and Randy. I haven't flown her yet but this weekend is looking good.

OMG. What a bad design. Take a look at the Ele. servo link in this pic. No way to get it straight
Now take a look at the 2 servos in the front. One servo on top of the other servo.
So what I see is 3 different servo links and the Elv servo link can't get straight. I have two choices:
1) Take the heli completely apart and put my Tarot 450 heli in the fuselage.
2) Send her back.
I'm dissapointed that MotionRc would sell a product like this. I don't want to send it back because it will hurt the wife feelings but on the other hand I don't want her to pay that kind of money, for anything that I'm not going to enjoy. I'm so confused.

It`s a weird design. but if it works...... fly it. Have you even flown it and given it a chance? I agree that they could have put a lot more thought into the design, but I have seen worse. As far as getting the link straight could you put a ball with a shorter shoulder on the servo arm to move the bottom of the link out?

Hey Geena. I haven't given it a chance...yet. The more I look at it, the more I think I can make it work. With your idea and with mine, shimming out the ELE servo some...I think it will work. I really like the heli and would like to keep it if they can work a deal out with me. I text them some pictures this morning after talking to them. Just waiting on a responce.

 

[D.O.G.]

Hey there all. I got my responce back and after further review...the heli is going back

 

[Geena]

Hey there all. I got my responce back and after further review...the heli is going back

So what`s the deal with it? Is it supposed to be like that, or was it a manufacturing error?

 

[D.O.G.]

Hey Geena. They said that's the way the design is. Jarrett mention it's strange but it works.

 

[Geena]

As long as it works..... fly the snot out of it. It`s not like it`s a 3D helicopter that you`re going to be beating on so there`s no reason not to at least give it a chance.

 

[D.O.G.]

I'm going fly the snot out of it like you said, Geena
