hey all, i flew the 500N for its first flights last week. good power, and a fun heli to beat around

im having problems with the fan however.. one blade flew off in flight on a test flight, then over the past weekend another flew out!!

i sent an email to flyhelisrus on Monday and still havnt gotten a response..?

just puttin this out there to check up on them fan blades, they seem pretty flimsy.

83 did you notice any vibration from running with 1 blade missing? As i had the starter nut come losse and lost a blade on start up but did not fly intil new fan came in. I did save a the fan.
