My Posts This: Topic Forum | In my experience..Helihobby has a great advantage in that they have some of the best prices to be found (not always, but more often than not). They will ship fast and get the order correct however, their communications and technical support are the absolute pits. I buy from them when I know what I'm after and just need the parts. I have NEVER received a reply e-mail from them and getting someone on the phone can take all day.
FxAero will answer e-mail questions after a few days and are much better at returns, store credit and they're pretty helpful and friendly on the phone. I buy from them preferentially unless they don't have the items I'm looking for. Plus, their shipping is lightning fast! I can place an order on Sunday night(after the weekly crash) as have it arrive Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.
CMEHobbies has Eco parts, also check out a place called Komptermechaniks (you'll have to google it), they make really neat stuff but it's expensive and it's in german so I don't know much about it.
Dream models has a mod to increase the pitch range by extending the pivot point on the blade holder arm, giving it another 2 degrees of pitch. You have to make sure that your measurements are spot on however, because if you new hole distances are different the blades won't track throughout the pitch reange. They don't explain that very well in their mod tips.
Just my opinion...
