Knowing how long you had to wait for your helis saving and what it took to get you where you are I have to say thank you very much but no. Sell it on ebay and get a good amount for it so you can buy something nice for your helis.
I really appreciate your offer though. That's really cool of you. I will have my -8 V2 soon I am sure. I could probably take apart the JFG500th and get it going just need to try and glue the stator back in right.

Is this micro CP by CopterX a clone of something else or is it an original? They don't even list parts yet but man I really like it.

Edit: I wrote Ehirobo a question regarding the heli right after I made this post and I already got spamed by them.

Is that thing really a 200 size?
HeliSmith

Well it is 465mm rotor diameter so I guess that makes it a 232.5. So with helis today you could call it as much as a 350. But I vote we use the blade length as the class. So yeah pretty close to a 200.
You were just looking for yes or no huh? :YeaBaby:
Full CNC little CP heli man I am really digging the idea. But where the heck are the parts for it? So I wrote them I will post what they say.

Victor I have never seen a Walkera metal part that didn't have slop. Can you go to someplace and check it out before you buy it? My 36 metal head was garbage. Not even cnc it was cast or whatever.

Probably not. I think I might like that CopterX a little beter though. I had boughten a CopterX Head and Tail before that were really decent quality.
BTW, no vidz. Wasn't able to make it out to the AMA Show.

Ah well 20 more bucks no big deal. I did write them email too asking about expected stocking of replacement parts.
Edit:
Cool Vic thanks. You are a good researcher!

Mikey, AMA show today is the last day. I was there yesterday and was able to enjoy the show for once instead of working a booth. Met up with Finless, Kevin, Rob, Jimmy, and of course there was Hovig and Jason. Defin worth a trip if u have never gone before. Demos by Alan Szabo, Jason Krause, Mark Leesberg, Andrew Jesky, Nick Maxwell, and lots of foam carnage! Yesterday, I put Hovig's foamie into the wall, Hovig gets smaked in the back by a 450 size heli on a demo flight by ACE Hobby and put a gash in his back about 3 inches long. Jason proved he is the cream of the crop for a minute or so until his 450 head needed new dampners so bad he had to land. Alan Szabo and Jason Krause performed a double demo with the 500; Freaking sweet. I only had my lil Canon with me and took a 3 minute vid and will upload in a few. Good to see some faces again for sure.. miss flying with u guys.

Awesome thanks Pete. I will see if I can make it out there. You know we miss flying with you too. Be nice when you can again but we understand priorities first.
That sucks what happened to Hovig.

Victor,
Know what would be funny? You know that song by Charlie Daniels: Devil came down to Georgia and he was looking for a soul to steal? It'd be so funny to edit certain words and chop it up to a flight by Jason Chow. The part where he goes "The devil bowed his head cause he knew that he'd been beat. He laid that golden fiddle on the ground by Johny's feet" change to "The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. He laid that golden heli on the ground by Jason's feet." Might have to just do the word Jason and golden heli in there with your best immiatation. Change some other stuff it'd be great.
Another example why canabas is the wrong choice. :)

ok guys, have we decided on the date for the next funfly?

HeliSmith

Office or unofficial? Jan 27th would be unofficial as our president is out of the country. I can do whatever weekend I worked out a deal with my ex.
Hey where's the best place to buy Phoenix and it is the Specktrum cable I need for DX7 not JR right?
