Hi Squawkers,
First time poster, long time RC addict (mostly fixed wing). I'll start by commending everyone here on the tone and professionalism of this forum. As a newbie to the internet discussion thing, I can't overemphasize how helpful it is to have folks out there willing to share and discuss their experiences in the hobby. And in terms of fun, I think the collective anticipation of new projects and ongoing releases can't be beat. So tip of the cap to moderators and contributors here, as well as the developers who occasionally pop up on this site (Alpha, you're my hero). All things said it's nice to know a community like this exists out there.
On to a question: I've dabbled in helis over the last few years. Pod and boom first, now making my way into scale. But the resources out there for parts seem very hit and miss: some available, some out of stock, some long gone. For the pros- any resources for finding serviceable, relaible multi-rotor heads (5 blade) and tails (4 blade) and raised tail kits for 450 sized birds (I've got an Align Trex 450 L) Seems like a lot of the parts out there disappeared circa a while back, and links in most of the forums are old and lead to dead ends. Any ideas for sites or suppliers? Or is it mostly craft your own?
Anyhow, thanks for the help, and happy to be here!
