I got the quick UK rod ends from grandRC and the replacement rod.
http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/60913 http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/60912 they sell a kit, but it includes the CNC servo mount and it costs $40. http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/60911 I got the servo mounts from XMseller on ebay. it the same ones from helidirect. but you can get tehm cheaper off ebay if you keep an eye out for ending auctions. teh only thing is that the align balls are just a little too small I had to get titan balls, and a tiny drop of CA to make them slop free

My day
Here is how my day off went.
Slept till 11am, charged my packs, went to the field and shot autos for 30 minutes. on the way back home I stopped at the beach and found an empty spot to fly a little. I used all my big lipos while practising autos, so all I had left were the little 3200mAh packs. Way too light with the video camera setup, but it was my only day off so I went for it It is still very windy today, and the light heli was getting blown all over the place. No cameraman, or downlink setup. It was on the heli, but no one to operate or tell me to slow the hell down I had some nice slow FF low over the water, but I got lots of dropped frames on the segment for some reason. Probably the old overused tape. Also, no expo or stab. The nose mount is still rigid mounted, but i'm devising a way to get some vibe absorption in there. 100MB video: http://photos.imageevent.com/bullacu...sandybeach.wmv better than shooting grass!

Thanks Pete, just using my crappy PVGS120. I bought it for home use long ago, and am looking to buy a HD cam, but my main focus is still photos, so I dont know why i'm trying so hard to get cool videos

Because of the front mount
It begs to toss on a cam and shoot video. Jesse

This morning. 6:30am. I still have sand on my feet
http://photos.imageevent.com/bullacu...i/chambers.mpg This is all shot with no EXPO and no STAB. Just practising getting smooth video without help. The heli still gets a slight shake sometimes. Working on some damping iedas... Everything was shot on one flight using my 10s 5350 lipo. The entire flight lasted 13minutes, and I only put back 3950mAh according to my 1010/210 charger. So YES! I can fly for over 12 minutes safely! ...as long as its not a stationary hover. Enjoy! :edit: Man, mpeg1 sux... if anybody wants to bittorrent the AVI, let me know...

I could just about smell the salt air!!!
Dang you Iven. Every time I think about buying a gasser, you come out with stuff like this that makes me think again... I still don't have a decent video camera... might need one of those this week too
