Damage seems to be not too bad but still need spares to fix it up!!

Keeping with the age old traditions, please do update us on where you are sourcing the spares from, how was the shopping and shipping experience, et al !

They use EMS speed post and I just hope I am lucky on the customs front even this time...I have another FP heli in the shipment with the spares and no tx....so might be fine....
Cheers

Are you back in the air ? 

Waiting for that video of yours, where you are doing "fast circuits"

unfotunately not!! Had all the parts and more but realized the ele servo had stripped and the collective had a severe bind!! God these small CP helis!!!!....getting help from a friend to get it fixed. Having to make do with my little FP birds indoors currently!!

Bummer ! 

This is why I quickly moved to the Hitec HS65MG metal gear servos after my first couple of crashes. I tried to live with changing just the plastic gears of the Align 9g servos that I had on initially, but realized that this one time investment was worth it.  Never had a servo gear issue since.

The downside is that something has to give in when there is a crash, so typically the plastic ends on the linkage rods or some plastic parts on the head would take the impact instead. Some times the links popped off, other times they broke.

Oke so the Creata all fixed and rocking..
My learning curve seems so be a lot flatter and progress a lot slower than in the first 2 months...I guess the crash made me a little conservative... .managing decent FFF but clumsy on my fig 8's/ slow circuits....seem to lose visibility/perspective when the heli is a little further out so I bring the tail in and get it close to me and start over again!!
posting a few pictures....

Pics of the heli are
UBER KOOL !

Ya, cool looking Heli.

That is a sign of maturity       Slow and steady wins the race !

another FFF picture....nice capture Sunil!!!

not the creata but here's a video of my 300 sz U-fly at the sec 29 field at Gurgaon...

Man! you make it look so easy!

You walk outside the beaten track when it comes to heli selection  

Nice flying

Thanks guys, seems I am getting more confident now!! Yeah true about off the beaten track but, they're cheap, finished beautifully,  built like tanks and fly wonderfully. 4 big crashes before I needed a $3.00 blade change. Can't ask for much more than that!!

Cool man, Iam still struggling to hover my TREX Clone.

hi guys,
Walkerea's are not liked in a lot of forums because the people bought them and the early ones had very bad electrics and got the company a bad name 'as cheap rubbish craft' this has never worn off, even though now they are comparable to e-sky , e-flight, etc not quite up to 'align' :-) though but they are double the bucks :-)
these are actualy a little bit popular in uk etc, sign of the times,,,,,,, how cheap can we go and still have a reasonable craft, the 'non ccpm' are easier to set up than the 'ccpm' though.
you seem to have converted to helis from plane very well  :-)

regards
don

In case anyone is wondering why people consider CCPM as a better design, is mostly due to the tendency to do "pitch pumping" 3D flying these days by most people.  Even the venerable Raptor series are coming out with new CCPM designs.  The main driver is that pitch is controlled by a single servo in non-CCPM designs, which puts obscene loads on the servo used to control the pitch (up/down movement of the swash).  In CCPM designs, this load is shared by 3 servos.  That is the key. 

heres a video of the creata 400 last sunday... now managing indefinite Nose-ins from both angles and exit from nose in's from both angles..basic cyclic movements on either side while in nose in....Good FFF....

Nice..  I see the confidence   Time to hit the idle-up switch
