Hi there

Well first damage to the 600 Sad ........whilst doing auto's I landed a little heavy.

After reading on other site about the front gears being the weak point in the system I decided to stop the heli and have a good look. Just aswell I did......both the drive gears on the front end of the torque tube have missing teeth! I understand there has goto be a weak point somewhere but the landing wasnt that bad...!!

So as normal its a Friday evening and im needing parts (I must stop flying on Fridays)......so dosent look like ill be flying the 600 till the middle of next week. Sad

So be warned.....land a little heavy....check your gears Exclamation

C Ya
Ken
