Lynx blades bent out the package

[blue92ehsi]

anyone ever get blades brand new with kinks in them? have you been successful in straightening them? I'm gonna email them

[JonJet]

Not sure that I would have opened the package...

Good luck with your email

[blue92ehsi]

I guess we have to check our blades for straightness now before we open the package lol not easy to do

[JonJet]

Yes, perhaps...but the degree to which yours are twisted would have popped a flag

[MariaFan]

Are those the new "High Performance" blades?

I kid. I jest.

Seriously, that's pretty bad...

[blue92ehsi]

lol I was so excited to get them I opened the bag and put them on the Heli and realized they were crooked as ****.

I'm still a fan of microheli blades. straight as an arrow

Submit a ticket, doesn't matter if you opened them just explain the situation and they will take care of you.

In the meantime you can get extra parts if you want for no charge shipping once they approve it.

I too opened my Lynx stretch blades today and guess what!? Yeah, same issue, though not as bad as OP. My Lynx Swash was also binding up when the shaft was spinning. I think I may have loosened it. Ugh!

[blue92ehsi]

I emailed Lynx about it but as I expected they can't help me because it's not a defect. I emailed the supplier and am awaiting a response. I didn't expect Lynx to pick up the tab on this but one of their reps Gwen replies very quickly and is on top of things even if they can't be of immediate assistance. will see if it goes as smooth at the other side

Does Lynx ship out of the US?
Just curious....

mine shipped from a Massachusetts warehouse

Really? I thought the question asking if they shipped out of the US was a joke. Everything I have ever ordered from them came from Vietnam. I'm pretty sure all the correspondence I've had were with people from Vietnam as well.

No, I was not joking.
MicroHeli has a website that says "US".
I was just curious since I am considering placing an order with Lynx as opposed to MicroHeli. The website at Lynx has way more information than the one at MicroHeli.

I can't say much about MH as I've never ordered anything from them but this is now my third order from Lynx and have great service and products from them. I can go to their website and chat with someone and that's great. Love that feature.

I have also ordered from Rakon a couple of times and recommend that stuff.

For me, living in Canada, Rakon and Lynx all ship from Vietnam.

Thanks T Dogg!!
What's your usual time of shipment?

The reason I'm asking this is because I want to buy a CNC swash, grips, CF main shaft, main rotor gear and rotor head.
The MH site really doesn't say you are going to get the rotor links if you order the package deal that includes all these things.
(sans the shaft and gear)
If you order everything separately, you'll get the new links.
As a package deal? Not so sure....
Lynx tells you exactly what you are buying.

Only because I just bought the DFC head, I would say spend the extra $1 and get that. I got the Titanium shaft and I had to put anti-seize all over it to make it turn smoothly. It is like butter now.

Also, check out Xtreme Productions as they have really good prices and they seem like they are good stuff. They also make a bigger feathering spindle for their grips, which seems like it would be good. Not to mention a 7mm tail motor with boom.

[JonJet]

I've tried the Xtreme turbo tail...twice actually...

Didn't provide any added tail authority either time

The Oversky 7mm is the way to go

Good to know. Thanks Jon! Again!

ETA: So I looked. Which motor is for the nCPX? I could only find the 2 7mm motors and both say they are for the mCPX.

http://www.overskyrc.com/7mm-brushed...aft-p-299.html
http://www.overskyrc.com/7mm-brushed...aft-p-324.html

I'm not sure which one to go with. Any opinions on a better tail for the mCPX BL since we're on the subject?


ETA: Or is this the motor?
