Hey guys,
Just wanted to say hi. Just received a used hawk pro that i bought of the f/s section. So far i've only seen parts for Century at heli-world.com, tower, and direct from century's website. are there any other good retailers for century parts? i've seen some mention of ronlund's site but it doesnt look like he has much anymore in the way of hawk parts.
Thanks,,
Ed

Welcome to Century products. I can get just about any Century part from my LHS but they order it just like I do. They save me maybe $2.00 I have found I can order from Heli World and get the same part in the same time so I don't even bother with messing around with the LHS. The LHS will get my part in and sit and wait till I call to check on it. Sometimes they will forget to order it all together. Some have great LHS that just do helis but to me its just a hassle when I can get it in the same time and know when I'm getting it. Where I'm located If i need a Century part I just order it from Heli world. One less person to screw up my order anyway.

If it doesn't fly sell it!

I agree go with heli world and since you are in CA the parts should arrive fast. Here in Illinois it takes a while longer If you are willing to wait Tower Hobbies has a sale on where you can get up to $30 off qualified orders. I just ordered a pro kit for parts. Expecting a fast shipment (1 day UPS) I just found out it is shipping from Reno, NV .... oh well. Also Tower is discontinuing many century parts.

Welcome to Century
Very few places carry them anymore, I wonder why

keep looking though you should be able to find 3 or 4 places that have parts.

Good luck with your new heli.
Read through the Century section to learn how to avoid certain flaws from bringing your heli down.

thanks a lot guys, much appreciated. i agree with the ordering thru heli-world and not bothering with the lhs. i didnt like to rely on the lhs even for my align heli so i figure it wont be much of a change.

BladeMaster, any flaws in particular I should be searching for?

best,
ed

lets see you should pin the dog bone to the torque tube,
make sure the tail gears have the grub screws in the shafts,
glue the inner bearing for the torque tube so it doesn't slide around
same for any bearing race especialy the intermediate shaft
check the tail grips frequently to make sure it isn't comeing apart
especialy the pins on the tail slider.

If you do all these you should have trouble free flying

great advice! especially pinning the dog bone, trust me on that one.

I really like the hawks, It was my first nitro and its a nice little heli for the price. I like the 20+ min flight times.
