Corrado,

Just wondering how actual sales are going compared to forcast sales? I hope you have great sucsess with this machine. I firmly believe this is one of the best overall heli designs to date.

Around 2-3cm in total. Probably due to bits moving in transit.

I'll add photo later.

Here's the damage to my canopy. Note I haven't even removed it from the plastic bag yet

Need to check rest of contents.

Ouch! While waiting for your warranty replacement canopy try this:

a) Apply Elastoplast cloth tape to the inside of the canopy covering the cracked area

b) Soak Elastoplast in thin CA

=> Should be good to go and not too visible from the outside.

I know, it feels like the main shaft wants to float out of my hand. You are right, it is meant to be flown, not crashed... I wonder how crash tests held up. I guess we will find out...

Did a little more work on it last night and today at lunch. I will attach a couple of pictures.

My only problem right now is that I need to go and get 2 or 3 servo arm/horn sets from the LHS tonight. None of the arms that some with the HS82MGs are long enough. Oh, that and I won't have a 15t pinion until next week.

Is the mainshaft solid or hollow ?

HighFreq · May 22, 2008, 11:37 AM

Solid

Just got mine from www.readyheli.com !!

I got reported 'cuz someone thinks I'm spamming.. Just telling the truth guys, I picked up my Protos at Readyheli today.. Sharing news shouldn't be illegal thanks ;]

Did I get the short straw

No printed Manual in the box?

I just double checked Hoverup's build thread and he showed a manual for sure in his box.

Arrrrrrrrr

Not a good start for me so far.

I just picked mine up from Ready Heli and have a few quick questions. First of all what servos is everyone going to run? I like the 9650's but don't want to have to keep replacing gears. I was looking at the JR 3400's since I can replace the gears with metal ones after a crash. Do any metal replacements exist for the 9650's? Also, what ESC is everyone going to run?

I am using HS82MGs, but I know all of the following will work and more:

HS82MG
HS85MG
HS5245
HR 3650z
Fut 9650
And more.

Quick question on the Jazz ESC's...what voltage is the BEC? Is it 5v or 6v?
