I just got one.
Went down with Ace today, I just wanna apologise that i've not bought extra for some of the people here, forgot to call, rotor was closing. My friends please hurry, from what i saw, there was 15-20 pieces on shelf.... Chin swee branch. Canopy for cupid is also only 5.80. Those who can please get it or call to book your piece... it is really very good. Will update results after fitting later.... The anti-rotation pin had to be filed down a little cos it was a bit fat.... test flying now!
Update: runs true, when spooled up without blades.
Update: Small inputs quite accurate. Swashplate tilt has lesser throw than DIY types. Swash does not vibrate at higher high speedsLast edited by MicroHeli-Nut; 22-03-2004, 09:49 PM.

Yup.. The time I bought it, it has alot over there. Actually, all the Cupid spare part are there...except the electronics part.
I wanted to bought 4 initially but end up bought 2. Just install one on my Dragonfly. Test fly for a few minutes just now.

BTW... what is the actual purpose of using those swash plate with ball.
I find that you might able to survive without swash plate ball by using Anti-Rotation Arm. Correct me if I'm wrong, is the the ball is to prevent the swash plate from collapsing due to no plastic sleeving? If so, then the Anti-Rotation might also help those problem.
Anyone has any explaination?

I cannot emphasise the importance of a good swash plate enough.
the difference with the stock one and a good swash with a truely centre centre ball is that at any cyclic input, the head speed remains close to the original .... is the swash does not obstruct or rub against the shaft. This is not the case for the stock tube around the shaft. It also means your servos have to work less sternuously. That's why the heli becomes much more flighty and twitchy after using this swash. For a good test spool up to the max with all blades and hold the heli in your hand... check if ur swash is shaking from side to side or up and down.
