setup tips for common freya

[tnreefguy]

Well crashed my freya now since i am rebuilding i would like to know any ideas about upgrades, only simple ones. my flying skills are not advanced enough for metal heads and things like that. I am flying a freya 60, .61st2 hatori pipe, gv-1, gy-601, digital servos, V blades on mains and tail, carbon boom. I also have ordered the push pull collective setup. any ideas appreciated.

You may want to look at the metal auto hub. The standard plastic one will crack over time. If you ever go to a big bore engine, you will need the metal hub (414229). The only other thing that I would seriously consider at this point would be the metal washout base (404731) and third bearing block (sorry, I don't have a number for that one).

Everything else is pretty solid.

I'd say with only a 61, you are fine with the plastic auto hub. Just grease the hub (check out Augusto's post on RR for how to do it) and you should be good to go. The collective upgrade is certainly a nice one to have along with a metal washout base and radius block. The rest of the money you would have spend on goodies, put into fuel. Great flying is 95% stick time and 5% equipment from what I've seen.
