V3

Raja I guess I got the last ones they had, now those are all sold, so you are right I will have to get more from Century, probably two weeks.

Fit the one peice Zimmerman, much nicer than the Century, bolts straight on and has a 2nd fixing point via a bracket using the 4mm bolt hole on the engine behind the exhaust outlet, available via RC Market.

Interesting

Which muffler is the zimmerman one, is it rczm-2651?

Also, would right hand side be the right choice for a Spectra?

I WISH....

Its a long story, and I'm still trying to get over it...

Believe it or not, I spent about a 1/2 hr typing the whole thing in here as a post the other day, and when I hit "preview" the window came up EMPTY! I tried "back" and "forward" on the web browser in vain but somehow I lost it all. Pissed I spent all that time typing for nothing, should have just hit "post" instead of "preview" and maybe it would have worked...

I guess I got lucky, two weeks ago my bison muffler circa 1996developed a crack and started leaking so I decided to get the V2. I called around and found out that the V3 was the new replacement. I call Ron Lund, Ricks, Helipro South and was told that they had just received some and so that day they sent me one.
I had tried Esprit and some others and they were out of stock.
So I hope you find one. So far it is much quieter than the can and it sound better than the Bison did. Anyone know a good aluminum repair shop in Las Vegas?

Raj that is what is on the 1005 in the video.

More like...

Someone crashed my Spectra helicopter for me, after almost two years or 368 flights to be exact of flying with the same pair of blades and tail boom/hardware back there.

OK OK, the cat is out of the bag. I'll write a post about it tomorrow for the hungry wanna know guys, and, to boot, I want your advice on what's best to do.

Hi Raja, the Zimmerman I have is left side on a Robbe machine, bought from RC Market through Revolution models and I do not know the part number, I would have thought they also make a right side mount one, it is longer and narrower than the V3 but is stainless and much nicer, worth speaking to RC Market.

Kuddo's Saul, thats what makes Century helicopters worth owning. I doubt you would ever see MA do anything like that to solve a short term parts issue. All the Centruy bashers need to take note!

Fly it like you stole it, not like your gonna break it !!!

Nice STAB turbo

But you know what? In the 10+ years I've been flying MA I've never experienced a parts shortage, not to mention anything like a parts FAMINE for months last year which made some people make tail booms out of broom handles from Lowe's...?!?

EASY boy...

I have watched time after time as guys on this forum take shots at manufactures and individuals for flying them. I make one general comment about Century bashers (no one in particular) and you act like I called you out Raja. You must have a guilty conscience or a skeleton or two in your 10 year MA closet. Every manufacture has issues from time to time including MA. I was merely drawing attention to Centruy's efforts at outstanding customer service.

EASY son

Fly it like you stole it, not like your gonna break it !!!

I bet some of the older guys remember the Furys not being shipped because of no tail gears. makes no difference if its a vendor problem or not.
