A quick note for all. While the V450D03 is a economical version of the V450D01 Do NOT assume that most parts are the same! I needed a tail boom for a D03 and they were out of stock so I just happily ordered a tail boom for the D01 as heck, they look the same. LOL THEY ARE NOT! In my rush to get the bird back into the air I did Not wait for customer service to notify me of new availability of the correct tail boom so I just ordered anyway. The D03 tail boom has two oval slots near the tail end of the tube into which the tail rotor housings raised areas fit into. I am going to cut the damaged tube apart to use as a template to cut the slots into the D01 tail boom. Just a friendly warning that one should ask regarding such matters (LOL) from one with 20/20 hindsight.

P.S. Just wondering if the tail rotor housings for the D01 would work with parts for the D03??
