Control links and large collar

[mrivers]

I've found that the control links on the Blade CP will fit the balls on the Gaui. Problem is that the threaded rod supplied with the 200 is not big enough for the Blade links (or my links are worn out). I used some Align T450 rods to make new servo to swash links and replaced the link on the rudder servo (as it fell off quite easily). The Blade links seem to hold better than the Gaui pieces, and are way less fragile.

You could also use the Blade's main shaft collar as a replacement for the Gaui large collar. However, you have to bevel the flat side. You can also use the steel pieces off of this part: http://www.readyheli.com/EFLH1148_Paddle_Control_Frame_p/eflh1148.htm - but you have to grind it down to size and bevel both ends of it (which I did before I realized the main shaft collar would also work)

I think, replacing with CP Blade parts for Gaui 200 is what we called "down grading"since Gaui is much superior to Blade.
If the problems is the rods, then use the rods of Walkera, because they are of the same diameter.

I think you should compare the parts in question before making that kind of blanket assumption :)

they look pretty heavy duty to me.:thumbup:

Nice find. Let us know if they work out.

I've been using the e-flight links for the elevator servo to swash control, and on the rudder servo - they were the two links were I had issues with the Gaui parts. I found one of the links was a little tight, however, one of the Gaui links was tight too, and some of the Gaui links were way too loose (easy to knock off the ball)

The extra meat makes it easier to get my ball link pliers on them.
