When I went to look at the replacement blades, I got a chuckle.  I guess it is BORKED!

Maybe the inside should stop getting in the way of your epic flight time? :D

 >:(This one is a WL v911.  It's really nice and fast.  The rudder is pretty sensitive, but makes for fast turns.  Its better than my GW9958.  Heck, I like it better than my Walkera Genius CP.  The 911 is definitely the toughest copter I own and the parts are dirt cheap.  I have most of my copters bound to one transmitter.  Even my Syma x1 quad.

If you like the Litehawk, get yourself a Syma s107 for indoor flight.  Indestructable little cheap coaxial.  Great flyer!

I need to dig my old one out and charge it.  I seem to remember it not holding a charge very long anymore, though.  Is this a problem with the little teeny ones you buy at the mall kiosks at Christmas?

I totally love my WL V911!  For the price, it's simply the most responsive helicopter I own.  The ailerons are connected directly to the servo actuators, so rudder and aileron actuation is instantaneous.  Full-scale transitions are VERY quick, so for starting pilots this might lead to frustration because you might think it's too "sensitive".

If you don't mind the 2-3week shipping time, banggood.come works pretty well.

Another reason why I like this copter is that you can actually buy it separate from the remote control (less than $20 for a full replacement).  After a while when you buy these things, you develop an annoying collection of crappy remote controls.  Since most of these run at 2.4GHz, they can be paired with a "master" transmitter.  I bought THIS transmitter that accepts my WL 911, GW 9958, and my Syma X1.

I have 1 or 2 replacement blades if you want one TM ?! I have been getting them with the unit that I have bought in the past. I can send measurements and pictures if you want to compre first.

You fly the V911 also?  Cool.

I actually have 7 pairs now.  They are uber-cheap at www.banggood.com so I picked up a few.  I only seem to break one of the two at a time, so I'm playing mix/match 1 at a time now.

Thanks for the offer though, but these little helicopter parts are dirt cheap from China.  For the V911, they seem to be extra-cheap and plentiful.  Odd too because of all my little micro-helis, this V911 is probably one of the best built models.

I'm looking forward to getting either of the bigger models now.
WL V912
WL V913

If the flight feedback is as fast as the V911, these bigger helicopters would be fun as heck to fly.
