Good luck. Those are kind of impulse buy, throw away toys.
I searched around and can't find anything for it.

Looks to Me like you could buy another for what you would
have in parts, but since you`re on here, look around &
educate yourself alittle. There are lots of better options. Wink

Hi jmeader,

The others are quite right. These are throwaway toys designed for 'impulse buy' only. They are not designed to last or to be repaired. If you want a repairable helicopter you will have to look at the hobby grade 4 channel ones. I would start with E-flite and Walkera as first choice then look at Esky. They will not be cheap but they will have spares available. Check your local hobby shop if you have one, but avoid toy shops if you are going to be serious about this hobby.

Tom.

Thank you for the comments I appreciate it

I bought this the other day after realising the bigger one called a Double Horse 9053 was going to need some practice before I took it out, I've already learnt some basics with the GS240 and I'm pleased to see there are parts for the 9053. I hope this one is of better standard and I'm hoping to use the transmitter with clearview rc flight sim once I know if the USB adapter is compatible, just need some more practice

Hi Jmeader,

Well the Double Horse 9053 is still a 3 channel so I don't know what the result will be with ClearView. It's a great sim but most of us use a 6 channel controller with it. Best of luck and have a good christmas.
