Many of the parts for the Reaper are on backorder and have been for months. This includes things like the frame arms and belts. Also the belts are easy to damage but hard to change. Two of my wrecks occurred when a belt broke in flight. I haven't been able to repair the damage because the parts are not available. Based on the part numbers this item is made by Walkera and like all Walkera aircraft I have purchased the electronic control system is weak, they manage to stabilize the aircraft but are not robust. Also the Reaper flies like a brick. I don't recommend it.

follow up on assault..... after a session of look and see somethings to be careful of are: When Alining the blades make sure they are parallel to each other, as though tracking a set blades on a heli, but in this case, fold them back so they point in same direction. If they are not, adjust linkage, till they are flat. Make sure every thing was zeroed before setting the 90pcnt arm. one other thing, make sure the bearing on head/gear is on outside of each belt arm.....these are a couple of things that bear attention

Received Assault quad, all parts are packed and labeled. Instructions were very good and when used with orange radio and receiver, unit worked as expected. I used a thunder tigre
motor 3700 kv 450 heli 3.17 shaft. Also used a 50 amp castle esc. and initially used a 2200 mah 3 cell. I ordered the corona digital metal 9s servos. When first starting couldnt get unit to work. I had bound rec before i started, this wouldnt work for me, i had to hook every thing up and bind as a unit, The blades were running backwards, but this was easy to change. reversed 2 wires to esc, and wahoo it worked. overall an easy to do kit. Pay attention to manual and use common sense......nice kit......thanks HK
