I ordered the whole lot via Ikarus internet site and crossed my fingers. It arrived in a very large box about 10 days later. I was very pleased with the service. Bits Bought later: Kyosho blade balancer.
Schulze Future 45He speed controller.
Hardened tail rotor shaft.
Hardened rotor spindle.

Originally I balanced my blades by weighing them with my electronic scales, with the help of a 2:1 lever system I could weigh to within 1 gm. This seemed accurate enough, but after some time I found I had some vibration that I could not get rid of. So I bought the blade balancer. This did not solve my problem, which I later found was due to a very small bend in the rotor spindle shaft.
