Phil Winks Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I've just had to rplace the canopy on my original bell47 the new one would appear to be for the v2 and I have to say is far superior much thicker and no joint in the middle. i think it could do with a little more paint perhaps. This has prompted me to think about upgrading maybe an ali swash plate as i,ve occaisionally had an issue with the original item seperating either side of the bearing casing not a difficult one to repair but can be embarrasing if it happens in flight. has any one used these upgrades and are they worth the effort and cost?

Owen Hailey Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Phil.The ali bits are good and doo make the heli fly very stable and also stop the fly bar from flying off every now and then the place to look is esky-helicopters.com or the HK shops on ebay the cost is very low and the flying is much beter.happy flying Owen.

Phil Winks Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yes very effective just one small prob while doing that the swash plate bearing housing seperated so now i'm in the market for a new airframe and top rotors. hence the inquiries about ali upgradesPhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
