@DruMCoMPanY Even on bigger helis, a torque driven tail can be a real problem. My 450TT stripped tail gears twice in just a couple of flights before I realized that taking off or landing in grass is bad, bad, bad. Hope you have better luck with your 2nd one!

@DruMCoMPanY This is a common problem with the SP180... like I said, make sure to never land/take-off from grass. Also, when I repair I'm gonna try epoxy to fix the gear to the carbon fiber drive shaft. CA glue is too brittle and won't stick to nylon very well.

@wcwickedclown Thanks, man. Estimated Parts Delivery: 02/17/12 - 03/02/12. OUCH! Guess that means I really gotta fix my 450v2 and 450Pro now, lol... Got a total of 4 birds down and on the bench right now... hmmm.... less flyin' and more wrenchin'!
