	Deluxe Aluminum Piccolo Hub With Arms and bearings


	For the Piccolo FP / CP / Pro

Stop loosing bearings with this Aluminum hub and 2 mm screws. The rotor deals with high loads of stress due to the high RPM. The hub is extremely strong and will handle the fast spinning rotor very well especially when flying the Piccolo Pro. The kit also includes a set screw to offset the load from the stock pin. The hub is bulkier and was designed to handle both extreme flying and hard crashes. As an added bonus two precision bearings are included with the kit.

Aluminum CNC Shaft collar with 3 set screws @ 120 degrees


	For All Micro Heli

This is probably the first modification you want to get for you Micro Heli. Having the main shaft slide down will result in breakage of the main gear. Also, this collar is extremely narrow and will allow for increased tilt of the Swashplate. The collar includes a flange ( lip ) that is placed over the frame’s bearing to reduce friction. The threaded set screw opening is of high quality and will allow for a fairy tight installation of the set screw without damaging the thread. We highly recommend it.

flybar rotates in helping cyclic precision and control. The head is also equipped with a upper button which makes it very convenient to stop when a one way bearing is installed. Also included are thick 4-40 screws and nuts which hold the main blades in place and preventing flapping. It goes without saying that no head stiffener is required as this complete piece is CNC machined from aluminum. This eliminates the conning effect which is often a problem with plastic head parts.

	Lighter paddles will allow you to increase cyclic response time and smooth out your disk action. The Carbon Fiber paddles are more rigid and look great, they will perform slightly better than stock plastic paddles. However, for the ultimate 3D flying style the lightened 3D paddles will decrease total flybar weight sifnificantly allowing for the machine to roll and loop over 2X faster.

	The paddles work great on Piccolo Flybar. Thicker than the original paddles and they improve cyclic control. The paddle shape is aerodynamic allowing for less resistance in air flow above and below the paddle. To install, use an electric drill and at a slow RPM, enlarge the Flybar opening to 2mm, then use a drop of CA to hold the paddles in place.

	Twin Tail Motor Mount and tail Guard Kit


	For all dual motor Helis

Probably the most common complaints ( at least since the migration to Lithium batteries ) is that the tail motor can only perform well for several flights; this is caused by the higher capacity Lithium packs wearing out the brushes on the inexpensive tail motor. This upgrades does the trick, it reduces the load of the individual motor by splitting its work load to a 2nd motor. The additional tail weight is insignificant but now the tail motor(s) will outlast most other components of the Helicopter as the brushes can handle the voltage with ease.


	Enlarge Image

	Enlarge Image

This upgrade also comes with a metal tail guard to protect your tail blade; the metal wire guard is inserted into the CNC tail hub base so it will not break or crack the boom.
Also, the complete tail hub assembly is connected to the boom using (2) large set screws so you no longer need to glue (CA) the tail hub; this feature makes it real conviniant to replace damaged booms.
As for the electronic configuration, you simply split the + and - wires at the end of the boom ( were the come out ) and feed one + and one - to each one of the motors to split the work load, its that simple !!!

	7mm Boom Conversion kit with clamps and dual mount


	For all dual motor Helis

The 7mm platinum dual conversion mount is a must for any standard size dual motor Micro Heli ( such as the Piccolo, Piccolo Pro, XR-1, Skylarks, all Hummingbirds V1-V3 and Elite and many others ). First off the platinum boom is much more attractive and very light and strong. It comes with very high quality multi purpose boom clamps ( made of Delrin ) and also a dual motor or a direct drive CNC aluminum motor mount. Also included is a standard to 7mm boom CNC aluminum adapter. And if this wasn’t enough, a set of vertical and horizontal fins ( made of carbon fiber ) are also part of this complete package. We love it and highly recommend this 7mm conversion kit to all Micro Helis which use dual motors
( for main and tail ). This kit may also be used on the Viper CPX.

	Direct Drive / Large prop & fin tail system upgrade


	For all dual motor Helis


	The direct drive / large prop system allows you to install a direct drive with a special motor shaft coupler. The coupler is held in place using set screws against the motor’s shaft and so it allows for a more robust / larger tail propellor to be installed. In fact, this setup is powerful enough to give your dual motor Heli serious tail control and also allows the

	Select items:
		PART#GW-HAS-002

propellor to be securely installed ( thanks to the coupler ) directly onto the tail motor. The tail fin is made of flexible plastic and so it protects the tail prop from ground strikes. The tail fin also comes with a bearing housing so you may still install a drive gear if you wish to stay away from a direct drive tail system. Several components are available in this package including tail fin mount only, prop with coupler and mounting hardware, and a set of replacement props ( optional ). Be sure to order both the first and second item for a complete tail conversion. Will install on any standard 7/8mm boom ( Piccolo, Hummingbird, Skylark, etc ... )
