Hi all,
My T-Rex 550E just clocked up another major batch of head rotations and needs a winter service as the minimum. Along the way, it's had a lot of work mainly involved in repairs but now needs some money spending if it's to become a long-term member of my fleet.
I'm thinking to change all the servos as when the heli has no power supply all the cyclic servo arms sink to the bottom position. My almost brand new 700X doesn't do this. In addition, the tail shows a distinct twitch whilst hovering.
So what suggestions do you have? I'm prepared to do the minimum and just carry on running until it drops and then consider whether to replace it with something else entirely.
Where is the 'Old Helis' Graveyard'? On a shelf somewhere deep the back of the workshop gathering dust?
