@WebsterFlyers its not letting me post the link...go to ehirobo....then click on copterx 500 parts. Its on the last page

[JMULIKOW]

@WebsterFlyers they work great...no problems at all. You cant beat the price can you???

Did the motor move on the mount?

It happened to me on a very similar situation, but with a 450.

[JMULIKOW]

Im not quite sure how it happened...all I know is the main gear is completely stripped. Motor must have moved on the mount I guess?

[JMULIKOW]

I kind of think...it was just a very cheap plastic gear.

@pimpinreddodge1 The pinion and gears from HK are junk, REALLY THEY ARE!!!. I blame them for crap products/parts. Mine was meshed correctly and stripped on the second flight. Auto-rotation from 6 feet, set it down lika pro

[superstocktx]

I found that the stock pinion gear was cut wrong and ate the main gear up in two flights and forced into an auto-rotation at 6 feet. I set it down like a pro!!

[pimpinreddodge1]

i can hear the main gear not meshing right as soon as you started your spool up and in the middle of the flight you could hear it screaching!!!!!!! dont blame hobby king for that, just learn how to mesh your gears properly.

Hi, thanks for you video. I bought one HK 500 and did some light aerobatics at first flight. Plastic tail assembly broke in the air but I was lucky to land. After that I spent time and money trying to fix it, but again and again its componentes failed too many times. You get what you pay for, as you wisely said. If you want a good 500 just take a look at a Copter X, or even better, a T-Rex 500 Align, the former worth each dollar. The HK 500 GT is the WORST 500-Class-RC Helicopter I´ve tried.

Just bought the electronics kit for myself. How did those servos hold up?

[MP3tilaco]

Nice electronic, you get what you pay for... you said it.

@JMULIKOW Ok thankyou i found it.

What do you make of the electronics package, is it worth the money ?

Is it just as good as the real trex 500 electrics ?

Are all the electrics good quality and do they work good on the heli, would oyu see any need for upgrades?
