as long as the break in the blade is a clean cut mate they say you can glue them together and leave to dry for an hour

How come?

Mate, these are take some practice to get the hang of. What we need is a big wide open space, trying to learn to fly them in a room in your house isn't the easiest place to learn due to it being so cramped.

Give it time....all takes practice.

All my helicopter wants to do is to bank right, no matter how much I adjust the servo arms and trim, it's no good, now I think I've found the problem (Yes, I'm crap before John says so) there's a locking collar that goes on the main shaft and it wasn't set properly so there's a lot of end float which explains why it wants to do it's on thing, disappointed I didn't see it when I first got it! Nevermind, you live and learn
