I test hovered my n640 that I bought on sale and after doing trim adjustments, tracking and such I noticed my tail rotor was angled sideways. Looking at it the plastic gear box was actually cracked. I emailed heli-world but I see they are out of stock on that part. Alot of the parts are out of stock, you all think they are done or will these parts come back into stock?
thanks
Jeff

Well, we can hope but seeing how low they discounted those kits I'm afraid the news isn't good. Perhaps you can see if any of the Canadian shops still have parts.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my recently crashed Swift 16. I was able to get most parts but some had to come from other helis. Good thing I had a stash of parts too otherwise this heli would be done.

I have front and rear tail boxes for the 640s here . Send me a PM if you would like one.

Hi FR-4,
I have some Swift parts in a box.
Let me know what you are looking for and I can check to see if I have it.

Thank you Heli143 - that's awesome

I think I'm good for the moment - another great forum member (MiniBoy -Russ- over on RCG) hooked me up with a 'LOT' of parts this past winter. As long as I don't crash more than two times I'm set

I still have a scale ranger fuselage waiting here (also per MiniBoy) - I think I'll harvest the electronics from my Swift 16 and build up an NX to put in it.
