R/C Helicopter

My new helicopter kit finally arrived from China. My order took about a month to arrive, because a couple of items were backordered, and I made a couple of changes to the order. Once it shipped from the HobbyKing warehouse in Hong Kong, it got here in a week. It is a HobbyKing HK-450 electric heli. The rotor diameter is 28 inches.

These are the components, right out of the box. The main frame, rotor head and tail rotor were assembled at the factory.
Here it is pretty much assembled. A few parts are still needed (motor pinion gear, longer servo links), and the electronics and wiring have to be secured. After I set it up as good as I know how, I will take it to a local expert for a checkout and initial hover.
In the meantime, I am practicing on the simulator...

Helicopter Landing Gear Repair

Due to a hard landing on a hard floor, the RH landing gear broke.
These are the pieces. I had already tried a repair; the built up protrusion on the straight stalk is adhesive.
I used ABS cement.
The adhesive made a nice fillet at the joint. The strength of the repair is to be determined.
