We ordered 4 helis for our rental fleet. ended up selling 2 of those to customers
we had alot of problems fresh off the delivery truck we had
1. extremely high idle that would not idle down for about 10 minutes
2 tail lights stuck on , replaced brake switches in 2 units.
3 the brakes wouldent stop well,
if you want to put time into making them problem free it can be done, we had helis rep come out a few times about the idle problems, i told them from the first visit there was a computer idle down / enrichment value problem and needed to be re-flashed. 8 months later they came out and reflashed the ecu's.
we changed the crappy brake shoes with ferro carbon custom shoes and they stop 100% better than the chinese pressed cardboard "joking but sceptical of what the oem shoes were made of". they mentioned a hydrovac booster but that was the last we heard from there rep.
other problems we have noticed are
your constantly breaking the cheap forward / reverse lever, the quality of this part is equal to a toy you buy your kid and its broke before you get home, garbage.
i have nothing against heli, no stock an any company for that matter, these are just our experiances with the trucks.
i do like the suit case of tools that come with it, I pack my clothes in it to go on vacation, the tool case is good quality but thats about it.
