(More customer reviews)The battery holder for this particular carbon fiber landing gear (mSR) is too small. I didn't even get a chance put it on the heli before it broke. Once you get it through the first set of bars it butts up against the second set, and wont allow you to push it any further. Without the battery pushed all the way in the center of gravity is off, and the battery would come out easy on a hard landing. I'm bummed, Ive wanted this part for a while but wasn't even able to get it in the air before it broke. I tried to glue it back but it didn't help. No matter what, it is too small to fit an E-Flight battery, the two you get with the heli. I have 5 but none worked. I sent Hobby Zone an email telling them what happened.
I tried to buy a standard holder from my local hobby store but it doesn't work, the way it connects to the landing gear is different.
This video didn't come out very good. I guess my camera doesnt like to shoot something close to the lense even though it was shot in 720p. Will update when i hear from them.
Update: Well i glued the battery holder on to where it would have worked. But this thing is so fragile. The tiny screw that holds one side of the battery holder to the rest of the landing gear has stripped out, so I guess ill glue that too. I also have 1 of the skids cracked, so now 1/3 of one side of the landing gear is just hanging on by threads. I haven't crashed at all, hard or soft. Its only been in the air 15-20 mins and its basically junk at this point.
Tried contacting "Hobby Zone" multiple times now. Never can get in touch with them during their business hours. I have sent several emails to them and have got 1 returned email simply saying call this 888 number, so thats no help since they are either never there or don't pick up.
My suggestion: Don't waste your money, but if you just have to have it, get it from someone other than Hobby Zone. I don't see this being changed again at least until I get back from an overseas trip that will last 4 months. Wish I didn't buy this thing. And wish I had more time before i leave to mess with this thing.
