Hi guys,
My brand new MJ2 lasted 5 minutes and I trashed it. I ordered some parts from FXAeromodel but they are out of stock on some items. Where else can I check to see if I can accumulate enough parts for the rebuild?
Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your crash. I've had two since my rebuild. Fortunately it wasn't too bad. How bad was it? Have you tried the Minicopter site?

Thank you gentlemen. I am really moved with all the offers. No I don't want to cannibalize any of your kits. I have quite a few heli that I can work on. Waiting for parts is part of the fun in this hobby. It sure taught me patience.
The crash wasn't too bad. Then again when a MJ2 tip over with those 800 mm blades spinning there bound to be some damage.
The nice thing about helicopters is that if I throw enough money at it I will have a brand new machine.
I knew Joe Howard sold the MJ2 and parts. I just couldn't remember what it was called. I was looking at his Vario site and couldn't find it.
I will check Joker-USA tonight.
I guess this give me time to build the Bergen Gasser.

Oh Mike,
I have had a lot of time in December also. It rained 29 days out of 31. That's why I managed to finish the MJ2.
I am getting a bit of cabin fever.
Electricians can't help you with power outage. You need the linemen from HECO.
Stay dry
