    Roban!

    So glad you guys will be distributing Roban scale helis. Hope you will be stocking spares. I’m always in need of new door hinges (which can be a bit fragile) for my 800 size MD500.

    We will be stocking spare parts, bodies, full ARFs, and all the electronics needed to complete each helicopter. Once we have everything online (early 2018), if there is a specific part that you don't see, please contact our customer service department and we'll be happy to special order the item.

            What happen to stocking parts, can't even get a simple thing as a front windshield for my Little Bird?
            I did contact your CSD, but no luck.

              Please PM me the details of what you are looking for (which model, what exact part) and I will make sure the purchasing team adds the part to our next Roban order. Please note that current lead times for Roban helicopters and parts can be as long as several months, We are working with Roban and its suppliers to help reduce those lead times; we appreciate your patience as we work to optimize processes.

                Oh okay, glad to hear we still have some hope on parts issues, I just need the front winshield for my 800 AH-6 Little Bird for now, the guy I got it from knocked a hole in it so I wanted to make it look nice again. Thanks for the report and I'm already looking to build another big 800 size scale Huey or the 700 Apache. If there is hope for parts then I will go ahead with a purchase.

                  I have contacted Roban directly for assistance and found them to be very receptive and open to suggestions to make their scale fuselages even better.
                  I love their 800 Huey but the nose especially needs some tweeking and hopefully they will come out with a version 2 with some needed minor improvements.

                    Welcome to the forum! Would love to see a version 2 of the big UH-1D as well. With some scale tweaking, I'd bet that it would be a big seller!

                      Thank you for the welcome!
                      Yep, I'm keeping my eyes open for a V2 800 Huey and fingers crossed for a nice Chinook!
