View Full Version : Need main blade shims. : (
I have a question. I sold my old bird to get a new Rex 700. Got the 700 all put together but just remembered that I let my main blade shims go when I sold the old airframe. Does anyone know where I might be able to get some? Tried a bunch of washers that were the same size but they are all too thick. Any ideas? Oh yeah I'm using Curtis blades.

you can try a plumbing store they have nylon washer's that would work great.

Take a credit card, draw two circles,(dime) drill the holes, trim with a barber sissors, shape it with 180 grit sand paper
or use a dremel with a med abrasive drum, install it & fly the S!@# out of it.

This is the only time credit cards are worth using. :)
