I couldn't make any sense of this last post. Did you crash it during maiden? Do you have a blog? What? Where can I see the video?

So what happened to the frame and flybar?

The flybar was a casualty today when I tripped over the dog. I guess my grip on the heli wasnt as good as I though. Our new dog has not learned how to move when I come through. It was like a game of chicken and I guess I lost.
I am on a role, my second kit and my second heli that I broke before finishing it.

That sucks. When I moved into the new house a month ago I didn't have a place for my planes yet and they were just sitting on the floor in my office. I was terrified that a dog or kid was gonna fall on them and rip a wing off. Got them hung in the closet now and sleeping much better at night.

all electrics have been transplanted. I think the scratches might be just the design on the servo body. I have been working on the setup and I have not seen a scratch.
My EXI had a bad encounter with the house, after that the wife asked me to see how much it would cost to repair. Upon further review most of the parts were out of stock. Then she gave me the ok to order this kit.

Well I found what I think I was looking for. I was on msh-direct.com and found a replacement motor shaft for the stock motor. From what I have read the stock is a rebranded scorpion hkII-22 series motor. If that is indeed the case then I should be able to fit that shaft in my motor and then affix the msh pinions to that shaft. Will see if the wife let's me spend the needed cash for this purchase along with the other need damaged parts due to my carelessness. Looking at $40 maybe. Will see when its all said and done.
I also managed to get my setup mostly competed enough to get it in the air. I went and checked the pitch for ailerons and not sure how to go about adjusting it. I had the mains in line with the tail and nose. Still not sure if this is needed on a fly bar head.
Once I get this ready for the air I then can setup the gyro. It takes my hover flight for the gyro to calibrate itself. I guess I could set the travel limits of the tail but then it would sit again until the mods are made.

Well I think I just found my new supplier for my protos. This guy got back in touch with me in about 15 minutes on my questions. I may be working out a deal on a new "stock" 3s 2580kv motor. I am not sure what he is going to charge at the moment, from what I gather he had upgraded a few protos mini kits to a 4s setup which leaves him with extra 3s motors that really are not for individual resale. So I hope this works out for me.
