kit's mechanics complex, as on larger helicopters ?

repair,

easier for the model builder-pilot.

A. Yes, but please try to stay within the guidelines of the
suggested
equipment, as included
- with each
kit, and as it applies, to each specific kit, for best

Q. How Durable are MIA Kits and
Retrofits ?
A. Our Kits have a higher level of durability,
because we use mostly
glass
and carbon fiber
- composites,
metal and tough co-polymer plastic parts, as required, to
make both our kits as
- well as our
retrofit products extremely durable. All this, combined,
allows our products to
- withstand
use and abuse, beyond similar standard mass produced
products.
Q. If I ever need spare
parts where can I order them from ?
A. Parts are available direct from this MIA Micro-Flight web
site or via our distributors.
- Via this
site, simply go to the section where it lists the specific
part and click the add to
- shopping
cart link button.
Q. How does the MIA Bumble
Bee compare to other Sub-Micro helicopters ?
A. There is no comparison due to size and specific design.
The MIA
Bumble Bee was
-
designed from ground
up to be a true Sub-Micro helicopter and to have very stable
and
-
precise control
characteristics to make it fly like in the product videos. Other
companies,
-
as well as
independent model makers have been using our Bumble bee Sub
Micro model
-
specification, since
it was first published in 2003 to mimic its size and
characteristics but
-
they have not been
able to duplicate it because of our unique manufacturing process
and use
-
of specific
materials that have become a MIA trademark.
-
-
- Q.
Which are MIA's most popular retrofits and which one are
recommended ?
A. We try to stay up to date with all brands of micro
helicopters that have come out since the
- year 2000, a
time when we first introduced the MIA Robin 280, a
lightweight micro helicopter
- kit. Some of
the more popular retrofits we make are our MIA G10 Frame and
TUFF
- Landing Gear
kits. We make these for various helicopters, please be sure
to check our
- What's New section
for latest updates on MIA products.

questions about our products via
