must have parts...to continue flying after a crash

[t-driver]

i have a H200 on order,and bought already a bag of parts.....
but every heli is different,so what parts will i need to continue flying after a mild crash?

may be difficult to answer,but give me your best shoot.

Landing gear for sure, spindle screws, blades, main shaft maybe.

Here ya go, in no particular order.

The Universal Links packs
Spindle Bolts RTL or standard
Tail Blades
Fly Bar and Paddles
Main Blades
Replacement Landing Skid Struts
Replacement link shafts for servos to swash and the head (oh and the tail servo linkage rod)
A few spare servos
Main shafts
Main Gears
Tail Belts
An entire head for replacement parts would be good but is kind of expensive

Am I forgetting anything?

man that's much.....
my walkera 64C (about the same size) only needed blades and sometimes a main gear and belt...

can you give me a link to "Spindle Bolts RTL or standard"

I think thats a almost worst case senario. I've had a couple crashes and damage was minimal. I haven't had a really bad one yet, knock on simulated wood product.

one crash so far, and the cause was the flybar links that comes in the universal set, the end split detatching it heli went over bladed the grass but not a lot of damage considering.

flybar links flying-hobby do these as seperates as well as in the universal kit, so ordered a load.
slight dent in boom but nothing to worry about.
screws in the main blade holders I found a local tool shop selling zinc m2 x 10mm a lot cheaper and just as soft as the gaui part. 50 for £3 ( ie $1.5 )

Anybody tried that gaui light plastic canopy it is very narrow compared to the fibreglass one.

That of course covers everything that can (and eventually will) break or bend during a minor to medium crash. I had a mediocre blade strike and bent the spindle bolts as well as most of the linkage arms in on the head (got twisted) and broke several of the plastic links on the head, both plastic washout arm links, and the dumbbell looking links on the fly bar.

thats why you don't use the plastic blades :)

Seriously, most frequent parts I've had go in a crash are blades, the spindle screws and main shaft. Main gear every once in a while but it seems to survive pretty well. I've broken the plastic landing gear a couple of times, but it doesn't go very often. Oh also flybar tends to bend up as well.

I've also bent the boom, but you really gotta smack the heli in to do much more damage then the few things listed above. A number of times, you probably won't even bust the blades.

these sounds much better now ,like i was used to my 64C.

I'd probably pick up a couple of the universal link sets and couple of the linkage sets as well, as the links tend to wear out pretty quick.
