Ok after about 20 packs or so (pretty aggressive flying) I bent one of the paddles and when I tried to bend it back the brass threads broke off in it. So I see this as a crappy design and was wondering if there is another flybar/paddle setup I could use on the 4#6 from another heli? I'd rather have a threaded flybar instead of this crappy setup. It's the only real problem I see with this heli.

Thanks.

Interesting... most folks don't seem to see the flybar connectors as the "only problem". You can always just glue the paddles directly to the flybar, but if you bent the flybar, you will need to likely replace both.

It is not a perfect heli by any means, but that seems to be a problem high on the list.

The problem with gluing the paddles is it's hard to get them on straight. Any ideas?
