Re: a question

They are a distributor out of New York, N.Y., selling thru Best Buy and Future Shop. Like Max said post a pic. For parts, you'll have to track-down the company in NY, also, might be available thru HK.

Okay, that's a start. But we need to see more. Most of us fly single-rotor helis.

The contra rotating heli's are great for beginners like you to learn on, but they are not very durable as you have discovered.

Spare parts are also harder to come by.

That is not to say it cant be fixed, but not many of us have seen this particular model up close, so its hard to give you advice.
In most cases, its usually something to do with how you re-assembled it.

We need more pictures, especially close-ups of the main shaft, DOWN LOW where the motor/gears mesh, as well as at the top where the blades are connected. Many close-up pictures will help a lot more than just a single picture of the entire motor/shaft/head assembly.
