I recieved my Cricket via Fedex today,WOW it is in like new condition you can definately tell it has never been flown,the blades look brand new so does the canopy,all the aluminum will need to be polished back to life,the motor is an os 28f and has yet to see fuel. the main gear and the tail drive gear also show no sighn of ever beeing spun up, the flybar and other metal parts do have some accumilation of rust on them but I will give them some tlc as well,some of the plywood radio tray is cracket and broken from storage and so are the ball link holders on the tail grips but I am planning on cutting out all new plywood and I landed some new tail grips on ebay last week as well, I will take some pictures of it before I begin to disassemble it tonight or tomorrow when my wife gets home with our camera and post them on here

I have found that the main shaft is slightly bent as well as the frame I was able to straiten the frame in a press but I need a main shaft. the heli is cleaning up nicely.

Joey:

You are not likely to just find individual parts. However, there are 2 Crickets right now up on ebay:

and

http://cgi.ebay.com/GMP-Cricket-R-C...1QQcmdZViewItem

The second one is a bit over-priced in my opinion, but it's a free market economy!

I recieved a beautiful shaft from MP Helis! Thanks!
And have been busy polishing all the parts, putting new bearings in, and building a new wooden radio tray. I will update pictures soon.
