I am tired of the lack of parts for my heli. I understand that the feathering shaft bends just about every crash, but you would think that Horizon would have thought about this before introducing one of the best RTFs on the market. The popularity grew and the parts aren't there when we need the support. Does anyone know what the deal is or when we can expect these items to be stocked regularly?

My LHS guy made a custom feathering shaft for me with a Trex 450 shaft. It works great, but it would be nice if we could get the OEM parts without the hassle.

Here in Buffalo NY are in the same boat.

I have been to several of the lhs and they are facing the same problem. I have been taking a small hammer and bending the shaft back into place as much as i can. I also picked up the align bearing tool to push the one way bearing into a new gear. It saves you a ton.

for CP parts I usually just order a big list of stuff off the internet. There are sites that have tons of parts in stock, and shipping is not bad. I have my own inventory now

flying is simple, electronics is hard

Blade 400 3D What's up with parts availability?

Is there a website that we can get parts for the 400? Because I'm in the same boat here! I went today to 4 different stores looking for feathering shaft and they all said the same "we got them in order"
There a few things that I want to stock up just in case I hit the ground again, because I'm learning and I need parts so I can go out and fly (try) and not have to worry about it!

is not the fall that breaks the helis is the sudden stop
