Has MSH working things out with the Protos

[freakinnovice]

I've heard the the Protos has had a hand full of problems since they started production (as all new heli's do). Does anyone know if most of the cons of the Protos have been worked out? And if they haven't when are the changes/upgrades going to be hitting the market?

Thanks,

First they had a tail rotor pulley issue......it has been solved and all owners got the revised one. The new kits also have them. The vertical tail fin is flimsy and there is an upgrade for it that is CF. I have one, it works great and Corrado is producing a stronger fin now. I am unsure if everyone will get one of them though. Now there is the tracking problem that shows up with hard 3D pilots. Corrado issued a bulletin on a temporary fix and when the new blade grips are finished, every customer is supposed to get a pair. So far Corrado has taken great care of his customers and it makes all the small problems worth dealing with. Get the kit, you will not be disappointed IMHO.....Ron

So it sounds like MSH is taking care of their customers which is nice to here. Should I be looking at the same electronics as a T-rex 500?

In the first post, Pete says use CA. Don't. CA will work, but it lasts only a few flights.
Instead, use JB Weld slow cure epoxy. Put the epoxy on the same areas where Pete says to. Put the head back on before the epoxy dries! Then let it cure fully (at least overnight) before flying again.


I recently started getting the tracking problems too. I did the epoxy fix and tracking is perfect. In fact, it's better now than before, even with the original o-rings!
