So my tail problem is finally fixed....and im finaly am able to Fly the Jr. Voyager E....yeahhhhh,,,,,Howeverrrrr thooo.....
i have a few concerns on this Old Heli......,,,At this point, i think i got it as best as it's gonna get...I'm still a beginner so i'm only hovering but the Heli Flies okkkkayyy....I am not to satisfied with the performance...On you tube there's a guy Flying Jr. Voyager E at night in his backyard and that heli looks soooooo Freekn smooth....Mine hovers ok for the most part but doesnt seem to Fly as that one on YouTube......I am not sure i trust and want to take the chance and do side to side and tail to me or fly it wayyyy up in the sky manuervering...Everything on this heli is stock with all the plastic parts....I mean is this Jr. Voyager E a low quality Heli? is it worth investing money to get all the upgraded parts or should i just get a Trex 500 or 600....I like the voyager but my Helimax 400 Flies much smoother.......Please advise cause i want a big Heli but am not sure i want to invest in upgraded parts for this one......If anyone has any good experience please let me know...Not looking to do 3d or anything, just want a smooth heli to the point i can do everything else but 3d....

I have the voyager e with a brushless setup and it rocks. I can't fly 3d, just hover and forward flight, side to side. I haven't even tried nose in. What do you mean it doesn't fly smooth. Mine flies pretty smooth but I did notice some tail vibration yesterday. I think I have a vibration issue somewhere, although the training gear seems to mask it somehow:dontknow

You may try the Super Voyager E 3S dampers and washers on the head.

You want something bigger? Try the Super Voyager E 4S. This bird is lightyears away from a T500. Quality is amazing. It's not only for 3D. At first and with the stock carbon blades it's a very nice heli for basic aerobatics. You can fly it with 4S or 5S. i'm using 5S but JR produce a kit with Hacker ESC and motors flying very weel (and cheap!). 4S 3700 batts are a good choice. You can use batt of 30mm max thickness. Mine are 32mm and it's still OK but batt is in contact with the canopy. No more room.

wow that's cool....i just might keep this Heli...i actually do like it....Did you see my photos? in the semi modded section? if not check this one out..My Voyager E doesnt even look like a Voyager anymore.....i think i am gonna invest in some high quality parts for this Heli...Any of you know anyone that's selling any parts? I wonder if i can get a Trex 600 Boom on here..ha ha....I never seen the Super Voyager..Is it a night and Day difference from the Voyager E? i might just buy one of those......i'm in the Market for another Heli so keep your eyes open if you here anything...Only want Electric and something that's good quality so i can Fly happillllyyyyy......

The super VE 4S is really different of the old VE.
If you want to see the Super Voyager 4S go here (you need to have Divx plug-in):

You will find several videos of the assembly in my blog other pages.
