how hard is this for some one changing from coaxils to single blade rotor?

the V912 can be a tame as you want or and wild as you want. It all depends how you want to fly. If you push it or get a little wild, be prepared for unexpected things like getting caught in a good wind high above or simply crashing from what I like to refer to as a slide being too low to the ground. Let's not forget you have about 5 minutes of wild time and then you better bring it in closer if the battery runs out.

Not sure but suspect since you have some experience it should not be too difficult. These helicopters are very easy to fly.

Changing from a 3 channel coaxial to a 4 channel fixed pitch is a little difficult because the controls are a little different. I went from 3 ch. coaxial to the 4 channel wl v912 and crashed many times but it took the abuse but I would recommend getting the wl v911 first. Its cheap and can take abuse but will get you used to 4 channel flying.

About 6 years ago I had bought a blade 120 (I think that was the model) and got bored of it very quick....I started looking again going on what I had remembered years ago and bought the V912....a bit out of my league but I've learned to fly it and haven't crashed it yet.....if you take your time you shouldn't have any problems...

I don't recommend it because you are going from an indoor heli to an outdoor one (unless you have a gymnasium). The 912 develops so much momentum that coaxils don't prepare you for. I went from a coaxil to flying a 911 indoor until I had good control before I went for the 912.

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit. I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

somewhat easy......most difficult part is lowering the passenger side tranmission crossmember. It can be completed by one person and typical hand tools.

It is easy to change blades. Just undo the Allen bolts. I suggest getting a professional to sharpen the blade.

WEF: It takes a couple of hours, but it isn't difficult. As I said in an earlier Amazon post, you should search YouTube for posted videos that clearly show the entire extraction and cutter replacement process. You can then decide if this is within your capabilities. You'll need some tools and a couple of wood blocks, but those are shown in the videos. Try "MarkerBuoy DeWalt Planer" and you should go to a few good ones. There is also at least one more YT video 'author' of the replacement process that I found very useful. I am VERY pleased w/both the Amazon price of the cutter and the modification's performance - and - substantial noise reduction. Byrd Shelix is a quality company.

Not overly difficult. An extra pair of hands with the heavy work is helpful. One to two hours depending on your having everything ready to go and familiarizing yourself with all the parts before starting.

not sure , there are a few companies that list an R8 spindle for it, takes about an hour to change. I added a belt drive and changed the spindle..

The key components you would replace, namely the blades, motors, and the entire "arm assembly" (which I generally replace) are interchangeable. I have one of each, and have maintained them each from one stash of parts.

Depends on what you consider easy. You would have to loosen and remove one bolt and nut and slide it up or down and then replace the bolt and nut.

I had no problem changing mine . It flys great and while waiting took from my air hog chopper . They also worked nicely.did not change them till worn out. Go for it my air hog was awsome till one blade chiped flys so much better as parts

It's not difficult. A spoke tool is handy to loosen the spokes but not 100% necessary. The cog will probably need to be removed from your current hub to remove the spokes from that one side. You'll also want to make sure the hubs are really comparable in size, otherwise you'll need different length spokes. You'll also need to get the spokes/wheel trued so it doesn't wobble. Hope this helps.

It is very easy. Once you know the direction to almost twist it on itself you're good. It can be done by one persone.

Not that hard at all. What worked well -- take the small operating manual to the course with you. After a round or two everything will be pretty much intuitive.

There is no easy way. You will need to disassemble the whole machine. In my opinion they are junk. You also need to replace the bearing. That be next thing that go out. More info Utube videos.

Yes. As easy as loosening one nut, removing one bolt, moving blades out and replacing the bolt and nut.

No, they are easy to replace but not able to just run on 2 or 4 blades. It would cause the machine to be off balanced.

Yes it is that simple but there's a secondary blade underneath be sure to keep it in place when swapping.
