Hey _Rob, you might want to try www.nyblimp.com for finding the right diameter carbon tube. I bought some stuff from this guy a while ago and the prices were pretty OK with decent quality priced in 36" lengths.

Thanks, Sar! I will check them out.

I've ordered from Hobby People and these guys:

http://store.xtremercproducts.com/

I ordered two sets of gears from them on Monday and they arrived Thursday (from Hawaii). Hobby People took two weeks - and not because the items were out of stock. They were just that slow.

Odd, I put my order at hobby people in yesterday, I got and order reciept and a shipped reciept in my e-mail the same day. Did they send you the same things on the same day?

rob_jones · 07-02-2004, 11:13 AM

Odd indeed. It took a full week to get a confirmation of the order and then another full week for it to arrive. May have been a glitch, who knows...

I emailed customer service about it and wasn't impressed by the response (ie: lack of one) so I decided to take my business elsewhere. Different people have differenct experiences, I guess.

I've always gotten great service from HeliHobby, but they repeatedly get blasted for lousy service.

Sar · 07-02-2004, 12:51 PM

I just need a vendor with the parts, and the ability to get them to me.

The only people I'm loyal to, if they carry the product, are my 2 local dealers. I have 1 for plane stuff and 1 for heli stuff.

Just for a speed check, I ordered these parts from Hobby People on Thursday afternoon and they showed up this afternoon.. (Whew, I thought the 4th was going to be boring).

Okay well here's a few short clips of me trying to destroy the Zoom, the tail is popping out of heading hold in loops and flips and if I crank the gain any more the tail wags pretty bad. I'm gonna try putting the servo on the tail this evening to eliminate linkage slop as a possible cause.
