Does anyone have more info on these Lite Machines? Their website seems lacking in information...

I have been refurbishing my old LMH 100 heli to try and fly it again.
I think I have it all set to go again, except I was bummed out when I discovered the Futaba Attack 4 channel radio rudder gimbal decided to break on me. It has a new Cox TD .051 RC engine on it. So I need to do something about the transmitter before I can go out and fly it around some.

Does anyone have any instructions on setting up the tail rotor with the mechanical gyro setup? I can't find mine, and I am not sure if it is working correctly at the moment. The old LMH 100 is almost identical to a 110 or 120 model, about the only main difference is the main rotor blades are shorter.

http://www.litemachines.com/downlds.html should do it.

I've only been interested in the Corona 120, so no help on the Arlotto gyro. Need a motor and crutch let me know I had one come in a while back with a bundle.

Thanks, that manual was what I needed to find.
I will keep you in mind on that motor and clutch.

Here are a couple of pics of my old LMH 100 in the process of being refurbished. Its a little crusty after all these years. I was pleasantly surprisedand happy that I could still get some parts for it. The parts from later model heli's still fit and work OK.

http://www.roffeetvhobby.com/corona.htm is a good source of parts. Mike is a good guy. Just call him or email to order.

Thanks, I have been thinking about getting a Corona as it is electric, so it doesn't upset the neighbors when out testing or flying around.

Hello guys, I am seriously considering importing a Corona into the UK now. Just a bare bones model, to keep duty costs down.What bits should I consider bringing in at the same time? I see there is a crash kit. Is it worth having?Three guesses who is going to answer these questions!

Multiplex bought the Corona and markets it as the "fun copter".
