After an excellent flight this morning 3 packs, doing side in hover and a bit of forward flight. All went well and we both came home in one piece.
This afternoon i was checking it over as i do after ever trip out and noticed that the tail servo is notchy/clicking.
So ive ordered a new gear set that should be with me in the next few days. Is it an easy job to do, ive not had chance to look for any videos yet.

Click to expand...

Press down on the splined output shaft with your thumb as you lift the top gear case toward it..... that was you will keep it all intact..... then you can lay it all out and replace one gear at a time :)
