One thing I did notice though, I think my main shaft is bent from the factory. It's got a bit of a wobble to it when looking at the head button.

Don't go by the head button. Rotate it and look at the swash for side to side movment, or disassemble it and roll it on a piece of glass or granite counter top.

It's probably ok then, cause in a hover it seems smooth as silk.

It's waggin it's tail a bit, even with the gain turned way down. I'm hoping it's the cheapo servo on the TR and not the cheapo gyro. Hopefully the good stuff shows tomorrow and I can get that figured out.

Well, just flew this thing through the fence. Not sure what happened, got a little sideways and it just kept going. I tried punching out but I'm not getting a great climb out of this thing. Guess I'll have to check the gear ratio.

Trashed blades, main shaft, feathering shaft and gear set.

Finally got a chance to get this thing back in the air. Put some Futaba digital servos in it and what a difference over the HS-55's that I tried before. Now it actually responds to stick inputs.

Also found out that with the Electric heli's your throttle curve for the Idle up's should basically be 100%across the board, huge difference there also.

Flew two packs through it in the back yard with 15mph gusty winds and I've got to say I really , really like the heli. My skills are still a bit dusty so I didn't attempt anything crazy with it, just pretty much hover and slow forward flight. From what I've seen so far with it, I'm pretty darn happy.
