If you fly an RC helicopter, you'll eventually have to repair it. This could be a minor repair required for simple maintenance, or in this particular example, a little more involved due to a hard crash.
If you've always been intimidated by what's involved in RC helicopter repairs, hopefully this video will put many of those apprehensions to rest while giving you a solid understanding of the steps involved in fixing an RC heli to get it flying just as good as new... hopefully better!
I love working on collective pitch RC helicopters, be it repairs or maintenance. To me, it's almost as much fun as flying them. You certainly don't have to be a wrench pulling RC heli nut like me, but wrenching on RC helicopters is as much a part of this hobby as flying them. You have to know how to do both.
