I have a few ideas I'm throwing around, but nothing that's really lighting a fire under me at all. Just wanted to gather some thoughts from you all on what you might think would be good topics for future Team Tips videos
thx
John

Replacement of the tail shaft in a quick and easy way - with thoughts for infield repairs.

We need a video of Tony giving instruction on how to properly do the Tony-Toc and the Tic-tack! Could be very entertaining

. I hear Tony now "Kids don't try this at home, but if you are going to anyways the most important thing is to beat that heli like a #(*&$!*# @(*&#!!! And last but not least you'll need a spotlight, a potato gun, and a sack of spuds."

How about a nice & clean way to install that fancy strut holder inside the nose of the canopy. Its never completly centered, you know.

Fixing to do this in the weeks to come, would be nice not to struggle with this item.

A crash demo would be awesome! Haha. I like the canopy centering idea. Would be really helpful!

Video on replacing the hinge pin that always backs out in the tail slider joint with the special screws with pins in them. This is important!

a pure noob intro to the wonderfull world of compass helis.

I asked that question about centering the canopy insert in an earlier post here because on my first kit there wasn't any pre-drilled hole done on the canopy so a lot of fun was to be had installing it.
But on this kit I noticed that holes have been pre-drilled.

John, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,

I just replaced mine and I'm still having trouble - specially with those last two washers.

I think setting up for good geometry on either FB or FBL would be good. That seems to be a big problem when people are being introduced to Compass from other models.

Also, wire routing and electronics placement might be another good topic which I come across a lot. Videos are a lot better than pics sometimes.
