Humming bird V3 Mods


Iv'e been reading about all these great modifications for the Hummingbird, but they all seem to be on V2 and earlier. Also, Helihobby has a lot of good stuff for the HB. Can I assume that anything that fits the V2 can also fit the V3? If not, what are the differences between the two?

Here are a few item that was interested in but all say for V1 or V2:

Fixed Pitch Turbine Swashplate
Hummingbird Fixed Pitch Dynamic Adjustable Head
Hummingbird G10 Frame with struts and skids
Hummingbird One Way with Titanium Shaft and Main Gear
Twin Tail Motor Mount and tail Guard Kit
Boom Replacement Kit (is ther ea benefit to the aluminum boom?)


Thanks

be very careful about what you get from helihobby. Anything they make custom, often is of bad quality or just doesn't fit. The quality stuff they resell like the Duzi parts or G10 stuff, you're safe with, but stay away from the others.

You'll also find that these parts don't make a huge amount of difference.

The best upgrades for your hummer are things like:
lipos
Head stiffener
Ball in Swash
Wood blades (like90's)

Then you look at stuff like
brushless motors
Direct drive tail

All the stuff like aluminium upgrades, cnc heads..etc, are flashy, and may help somewhat, but not a great deal. It's also more to damage when you crash.

The v3 has the head stiffener and the ball in swash already installed.

Go lipo and brushless
DD tail
Like90 Blades
G10 Frame
Like90 Flipit kit (gets it all out of the way and helps with motor cooling)

that setup rocks

I use the new V-3 head stiffener in my V-2. Doesn't break, just like Century said.
