I’ve been on a mission for spare parts for this RC helicopter I got. A mission, I tell you! I found the manufacturer in China (good luck tracking that down), I called the store where my dad bought it… all to no avail. Spare parts don’t seem to be locally available, and shipping them from China directly in the quantity I’d have to purchase in would be more expensive than just buying a new chopper.

So… I guess it’s time for a new chopper. Maybe something just slightly higher-end, possibly a three-channel entry-level thing that has spare parts available. Looks like a trip to Tammie’s Hobbies is in order this weekend.
