Actually Chad, there is a guy that took the circuit board out of that keychain cam, and mounted just the guts on his Blade MSR. I'll try to find some pics of it if I can. Buy taking the guts out of the casing...you're probably cutting the weight in half

Try it and let us know how it works out first-hand. Maybe I'll order a couple of spares too.
One thing I can't figure out is how the pin on the rear of the swashplate keeps jumping out of the guide during crashes.
It takes a lot of force to lift it back up and into the guide.
You can see the stress mark appearing on the left side guide post from putting it back in place for the 10th time.

Yup works perfect, right or left doesnt matter (i got one of each). 9 bucks a piece and they were out of the msr tail boom for "a while"
I would be pissed if i was copter-less for "a while"
I have had that happen 3 times, it is tough to get it back in. I was thinking about gluing a little loop over the top to see it it will stay but i havent had it happen in a few days.
Just fired it up and it flies great. Disclaimer: Depending on how much practice the pilot has
Ill try and get a video later, waiting on the end cap reinforcement to dry

Use CA with amine accelerator/hardener. CA doesn't "dry", it "cures."

Wow!!! What are y'all doing??? I haven't had that happen once to mine!
Try undoing the rods going from the swashplate to the flybar and see if that will help.
I have my 500 apart right now. Come to find out, I broke the end of the torque tube (drive shaft for the tail)... I was wondering why I couldn't control the tail..... It would spin up, but no matter how much right rudder I put in... it would piro! No wonders I didn't crash it again!

Awesome videos.
I got my Falcon 40 today, fired it up in the spare bedroom (tile floor) and hovered a bit.
The week of experience on the mSR was VERY helpful, I already knew how to control it before it left the ground. After a few short takeoffs and panicked "sliding" landings, I lifted off and hovered smoothly around the 12x12' bedroom for a minute or so, then set it down and put it away.
I like the way the bigger bird easily floats above the floor at a stable height without needing to constantly feather the throttle while hovering. It's slower to respond, but needs more input to keep it steady. Feels very forgiving and predictable so far. I lifted up to chest level and it was fairly easy to handle. The transmitter has nice feel, but with minimum function, the trims are easy to knock out of place. The build quality on this machine is typical absolute Chinese crap, but it's a fun flyer for $90. Maybe I'll keep it around...
The transmitter feels better than the "X-box" style that came with the mSR rtf. I should have bought the bind-n-fly with a DX6i transmitter instead. I haven't ruled out upgrading it in the future...'89 Hydrostream Vegas XT, '90 Merc 2.4 Bridgeport PCU EFI
