Repair Cost

[PLPFlyboy]

I have a freya X-Spec and i bought it for a good price, the only thing is this is my first heli. I was wondering if someone who owns one of these helis could help me with a extimated cost to repair it after a crash. If posible maby even a list of what i will have to replace. Thanks for the help.

Tail boom
Main Shaft
Feathering Shaft
Battery Tray
Main Blades
Tail control linkage
Possible other items
Center AL Hub
Tail Shaft
Tail Hub
Electronics
Upper Frame set
Landing gear

Not trying to scare you it all depends on how you hit. Most crashes (unless you really hit hard) will set you back 100-150 plus blades.

Thanks for the help the list that you gave me actually cost a lot less then i was estimating but im sure that the cost can go up dramatically depending on the severity of the crash thanks for the help though. Im mostly learning all of this stuff by myself, I will say though its nice to be able to ask questions and get help.

for me. The pre-assembled head block
and torque tube make it that much
faster to build.

Realistically, blades included you are looking at a $300-$400 crash. That’s if you don’t go in with idle up and take out everything but the tail servo :oops:
