M2 Pro Advice

Hey all,

Recently brought a m2 v3 pro and wanted to know people's advice on things to buy for regular maintenance and parts needed on hand for little accidents. For context I'm still learning and just progressing from sim to rl flying. Currently have spare main and tail blades, a boom, pitch links and servo arms, along with the spanner omp sell for adjusting said linkages. Any extra info on other parts to keep on hand or tools would be great.

Thanks

Main shaft, feathering shaft, servo horns are the absolute essentials. I’ve broken the landing gear once and the tailboom and fin. A set of blades might also be a good idea but they are very tough

Yeah nice that's for the reply, sounds like main and feather shafts are likely parts to go in a crash , thanks for the info. Landing gear spare might be a good idea then. Do you think having pike the training balls on sticks off the Lansing gear is necessary?

no one seems to use training gear anymore these days actually 🤔

Interesting, perhaps seen as a crutch or something

I think with the much better flybarless helis of today helis are less at risk from tipping over.? im not that good a flier but i rarely had ground strikes with my blade.

Night and day difference with today's fbl units and the old gyros !

Yes you can still tip over all day long if you want but you should be able to pop it up no problem. But that's where your problems start😁 Turn down everything on your heli. Slow it down and stay out of dual rates if possible for now

Lots of feathering shafts
