Well firstly HAPPY NEW YEAR to all IIS members-hope everyone has a fantastic new year.
Over the Xmas holidays our sons played with their RC helicopters I bought them for xmas,one was a small S107 that is mainly for in door use,it works very well,it cost $49,but cheaper price can be had on ebay.
The other is a larger 3C channel single blade model,took a day or so for them to work the trim out,but after that all went well,got some great photos.
I expected either of these helicopters to come to grief,but they have had no serious need to call out the NTSB.
The larger has developed an issue-the tail motor had smoke coming from tail motor and no longer is fly-able.It appears the tiny tail motor could be replaced with a similar motor (see link)

Is there anyone into RC's here that might know somewhere in Australia that parts can be sourced from?I think there was a person here on IIS that was right into these RC helicopters.but forgot who it was.
cheers Chris
