Ball Links & Control Rods

[sookainian]

How many flights before you guys change the Ball Links and Control Rods ?

Kind of weird question i am asking. But tt is because my R50 had 15 flights and my double link give way and cause me to crash. So i want to play save on my Stratus and change the ball links before it give way like my R50 did.

Cheers,
Kenny

I have ball links and rods that have hundreds of flights on them. They still work fine and have no slop.

cool MA helis sounds soild. Somehow after 15 flights, my R50 double link give on during a hard inverted punch up. And my whole heli went out of control with loud futting non-stop and crash. :arggg:

it's probably illegal to refer to R#pt#r and MA in the same sentence, or even paragraph...... :wink: :wink: :wink:

MA links don't wear out very quickly. The metal balls wear some over time. I normally get 200-300 flights on the balls before replacement or more. The links should last 2 - 3 times that long. MA without any doubt has some of the best links available.
