Hello all. I am a newbie here and to helis. Not to RC though... wanted something different.
I recently had a CX2, flew it for a couple of months, and traded it for a CP Pro. I liked the CX2 but wished it could fly forward more and in very light winds. I am ready for more.
SO to my Pro..... What a difference in controls WOW! I am still trying to get it to hover.

My question for this thread is can i use small set screws to hold the rear shaft in place on the chassis and rear tail motor mount. It has super glue on it now and i need to replace the shaft. I have used set screws in my nitro trucks before in an area where a pin won't stay in place. You just drill a small hole and screw one in. My concern is the glue not letting loose and having to replace more than is needed. I had that issue on a venom night ranger i tried last year.
thanks

Just just a bit of hot melt glue. A low temp hot melt glue gun is about $1.99.

Set screws will work fine, they are easy to remove and don't weigh much.
