im a beginner in this Rc world, i reside at delhi, just some days back, i bought one Rc 3 channel heli its called:

but during its maiden flight it crashed fiercely and after so many attempts it is not flying atall....!!!

upon close examining the body, i found that, the main body part which has the central shaft has been internally broken, also the  top blade joint has been broken too.

i want to know, that, from where i can get it repaired, or is there any reliable site/store from where can i buy, syma s006 body parts?
also i want to know how good is syma s006 models?

Hard to find Syma parts, never saw any...Does this not come complete in a box with Radio etc ? maybe worth buying a new one....

Or fix it yourself with appropriate methods (epoxy/CA, splint, fiber cloth etc). 

Even you find the parts outside India, it may not be worth the price/effort when you include shipping costs.

well its a 3800/- buy, and so very new...so u can udnerstand that dumping is a very high stake !![:(]

anyways i'm attaching 2 pics

one showing the bottom of the top rotor whare there is a crack
and the 2nd one is the inside of the main body shaft, through which the  central rod passes

the links of the pics are here
plz comment

Your best bet is to take the help of someone experienced in flying helis near you (if there are no heli fliers, then airplane fliers should be able to take a look at it).

Requesting anyone from Delhi flying helis to step up and help our fellow flier !  :)

anyone out there in del plz help

looking at your pics - forget about sticking it, if your fly bar or shaft is broken then the only remedy is to change it as a unit and my only hope is you meet someone who has a busted piece who'll give you the parts!
These models come set like this from the factory and there is no spare market for these ones. if they fail you move on. But no harm in trying

i have found this site, what about its reliability???

i think the main body needs to get replaced, do u guys think these kinda sites are good enough to order from?

still waiting for the reply ???

Looks like a standard RC shop.  Just follow the normal (i.e. common sense) precautions for any online purchase.

Hopefully the price and shipping is worthwhile for a heli at this range !

Is syma models available in india? I am looking for syma swift s002 model,sourcing it from US will be expensive, any online indian shop from which we can buy syma models?



You can buy syma body parts from xheli.com its a reliable site
http://www.xheli.com/s0syalsh.html

Wanted to know if you were able to fix the heli or not as I have some experience with Syma products also you can get it repaired from the shop where you bought it from as they have guys who repair all kinds of stuff I got mine repaired once.

Thanks
Amit
