My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Is it just me or is everyone's 700N the same? I find that when the blades are stored with the foam holder, the 700N has a tendency to rest on the back points of the landing gear skid tubes and with a very little touch it will allow the vertical tail fin to hit the table top?

Is this normal or is my heli "unbalanced"?

To rememdy this I find I have to reverse the direction of the plastic parts of the landing gear (tube holders), so that the heli will sit flat on a table, making it easier to work on without the "teeter-totter" effect.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		mine does the same, doesn't really bother me. When I have it sitting on the bench at the field I'll open up the blades and put the blade holder on one of the blades with it slightly folded back to keep it from windmilling or just leave it resting on the tail fin - either way no big deal.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Transfer of weight will of course make the heli tip back.

Take the blades off when working on the heli - makes things easier and lessens the risk of damaging the blades with tools.

Cheers!!

3D?? No - just another input error!!!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I turned the skid legs around on mine, so they slope backwards.

Sits better on the bench with the blades back & also sits a lot more solid on the ground.
Plus it looks tough.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Why is it such a problem? I shifted the weight of mine and balanced the heli and it doesn't do it. You should balance your heli anyway for it to fly at its best.

Fly it like you stole it!
