Need help with a Blade 400

Heres a good web site that should help.

That looks like a great site

Definately won't fly it until it's sorted. I haven't really ever flown it. Had it for nearly a year. Have always been worried about crashing it :-) Have only spun it up. Has come off the ground but not for long.

Thirdly, don't try to "fly" it..even once it's fixed!...There are several steps you need to take to minimise the risks before flying..

Fourthly, most spares are readily available from Hobbies in the Hills (Castle Hill), or RC Hobbies (Leichardt).

I have a training gear from another dual rotor heli I bought age ago but never used them. Don't know if they are compatible with the B400. They have orange 'gears' on them.

I plan on getting an rc sim very soon. It' a shame this happened now but will be good to learn how to fix this anyways.

Thanks Dave for your post. I will do this when I get the shafts sorted.

Thanks to everyone for your help!
