RE: century RTF questions
I bought one wish I had boght a kit now ,gyro burnt up ,could not seem to get it to fly ,changed the gyro radio rx all the servos and upgraded with a metal hub for the head,now it flys like it suppose to if you already bought the rtf I suggest you make the same upgrades and you will be happy,btw the plastic hub came apart with me and part of the rotor hit my hand hard enogh to bruise and I was a good fifty feet when the rotor gave way the copter just fell away from the rotor and for a split second it looked like the enterprise when the saucer section seperates

century rtf radio programing tip
You can use the cable and software from the exceed 6 channel radio on the century radio , I could not find anyone who had the software for the elite 6 century radio in stock.

heli Size?
When people say 400 or 450 heli size are they talking about rotor length or engine size?

If at first you dont....
Been away from flying a couple of years ,just purchased a rtf swift , Made a couple of mistakes that I should have never made.First I purchase traing gear and it said not to glue together for transport to the field , gear fell apart and i'm Flying with one stick and ball dangling rotr touched ground with little damage. went back to field with trainding gear glued and did not check the tension on belt and helicopter piourrette out of control, landed hard and cracked the traing gear. Went back home checked everything and was getting disappointed and worried I wasted 600 bucks.Anway Went back to field and flew for the first time in a couple of years , a couple of one minute flites to break batteries in . Hands shaed a little to much but I am realy exicted to get back to flying and shake the butterflies off.
