I would like to know about the durability of this item, my propeller shaft is about to go bad, and I am exploring my options. Thanks.

The one we put in worked fine. But it got traded in and went to auction, no more history. Porsche Tech OUT

We put one on last year and have had no problems reported from the customer and we inspect it every service.

I actually bought this mp to add to my mechanical pencil collection. I now have about eight mps, all different. Therefore, I could not provide any info regarding its durability. I can say that this is a beautiful, finely crafted instrument. It may be the best in terms of appearance. I really don't think you would go wrong if you selected this one. Best of luck!!

This problem could have multiple causes. The propellerr shaft could be spinning in the propellerr hub without turning the propeller. The lower propeller drive motor may have failed or it's drive gear not properly engaging the larger gear that it is supposed to. Least likely would be the control circuit board. Since you have already given it a good looking over, I would return it to Amazon and ask for an exchange.

It's built pretty well and may hold up to that kind of use, but ultimately it's a home machine. It's a calculated risk. It may hold up for years. It may not. Regular cleaning and de-liming should improve your odds.

everything.. if you're new might as well buy some extra parts.. (the blade package) and landing gear.. tail boom seems pretty sturdy.. I haven't broken mine yet.. extra battery is worth it also.. they don't cost that much..

It's amazing to me you were able to fly it long enough to break anything. This thing has horrible battery life! It is an unstable platform and one of the worst helicopter I have purchased. Sorry don't know where to get new blades, good luck.

I got one a year ago and it's still going strong. Recently a friend's first one had a dead motor. He returned it and got a replacement; it could not be trimmed to hover. I think quality control has slipped.

Most probably, the shaft would have bent and jammed. Repairing may not be possible. Buy a new one and use.

Mine is five years old, and I have used it heavily. The unit itself is holding up fine but I am having some problems with the engine now. The engine is a Briggs and Stratton similar to what you might find on any number of similar products. About the only plastic part on it is the guard over the belt, which is pretty beat up now. All of the structural and functional parts underneath are steel.

You stated that it's one of the propellers not moving, question is is the engine working? if yes and maybe just that its loose and requires that these small screw in the center of the propeller needs tightening with a small flat blade screwdriver. I actually did have this happen on mine but beyond that I have to say the boat has been pretty reliable and in fact durable.

Motor Bad.... I have had to replace many, Motors don't last long I keep spare motors in stock.. Sounds like New Bad Motor..

Not quite sure what you mean. My wife has used the product, yes. But if your referring to the manufacturing of people vice machine? I don't know that answer. Durability, is working out fine. Your question is a bit broad without a bit more info.

I could never get mine to fly at all. One of the motors only spins up intermittently causing the craft to invert and crash. Just got it a few weeks ago but never got it to work.

First of all. Do not buy. 1) Manufacturer no longer produces it. 2) No one sells parts for it. 3) Quality of my machine was very poor. Lasted only one season. First the ABS housing developed many cracks. I repaired with abs plastic and plumbing cement, but the motor-winding burned out first time I used it this year. Have now bought a Toro of similar characteristics and it seems to work very well (Cost: $200) A little concerned about quality since it also has many plastic parts. But at least you can buy parts for it. Yes, I would use it on a wooden deck if I had one, as scraper bar and rotor are plastic. First of all.

I also would like to know. I have broke my propellers and it is just siting on my shelf because I do not know where to get new ones.
