I received this Helicopter as a Christmas present in 2010. At the time, I was a "first time flyer", and so within days, had a few minor crashes, resulting in a need for spare parts. But I am having trouble locating parts. I cant seem to find a web site for Borong, or any other of the names that it goes by. My guess is that this unit is a replica of another brand of model R/C Helicopter. One site suggests that the brand is X-Max, and that the place of origin is Guangdong China (Mainland). One site lists item code as 98260919, and another as HS407119 (Chinese Standard Commodity Code). Manufacturer could be Feida Toys Firm, or Foshan Blue Eagle Toy Co. Doing some googling around, it seems very similar to other models, and so a lot of parts are likely to be compatible.

Other older Models that may have some parts in common...
Viefly Dura V10: Looks identical, and lists that same part numbers. Click here for info, or here, or here.
Double Horse 9053 Volitation: Similar size and parts. Click here for Info
Alloy Shark V2. Similar size and parts. Click here for info
Syma S033G: Similar size and parts. Click here for info
GYRO 3.5CH 9097G: A bit smaller but some similar looking parts. Click here for info
Technics Air Challenger: A bit smaller but some similar looking parts. Click here for info

There are several sites selling some parts, but no single site where you can order all parts.
I recommend that you simply google BR6088 parts, and you will be able to get some parts from ebay, amazon, and other hobby web sites.
Having said that, I recently needed a tail rotor, and could not find one online, and so bought a slightly smaller rotor locally, and it works just fine (see supplier details below in the parts list)

Update 5 Dec 2012: Ok, it seems that a lot of parts from the BR6098 are also compatible, and perhaps even some from the Elite V20. I have found a great ebay seller, Niki Toys and Gifts (ebay member nikitoys10) that sells around 90 parts, with nearly all parts for the Dura V10 or X-Max BR6098 listed. Click Here to visit the Parts section of their online ebay store. Perhaps we finally have a decent part supplier to keep our machines flying!

Update 14 Jan 2013: Best supplyer so far on ebay is member "ckkoy". His store sells most parts for the BR6088 (Dura V10). On his page, just select the pull down menu listed as "V10" in the center section towards top of page. Click here for the page. Here is a screen dump as at 14 Jan 2013 (note - the tail blades are out of stock because I just ordered the last 2!)...

NOTE: If contacting "ckkoy" he can take a long time to reply (weeks), and often the reply is confusing (I guess his English is not very good). So be patient.
I would appreciate any comments or feedback about parts suppliers, or about my web page, so feel free to email me . Back to my helicopter...

 Description:
This is a 1:16 scale 3-channel R/C Helicopter with alloy metal frame structure with LED "Missile" lights. Super durable design and easy-to-fly stability.
NOTE: And they ARE pretty strong. I recently crashed mine, a no-power free-fall from over 40m onto a tin roof, and all it did was bend the main axis shaft, and broke the tail rotor. I straightened the main shaft by belting it with a hammer via some blocks of wood, and bought a new compatible rotor (see below). Total cost = $4, and it flys fine again!

Specifications:
Body size: 690mm (L) x 122mm (W) x 240mm (H)
Main Blade: 520mm   NOTE: This is Diameter, so from tip to tip of 2 blades when installed
Tail Blade: 120mm  (1 piece rotor)
Control Distance: up to 50 meters
Flying Time: up to 20mins   NOTE: I typically get up to 10 minutes, but no more!
Helicopter Battery: 7.4V 1800mah  (Li-Po Battery)
Transmitter Battery: Required 6xAA Batteries

Features:
Coaxial structure provides stable flight operation
Built-in gyroscope with the function of auto detection and self-adjusting to any direction at any angles
Supports 360 degree hovering, 3D omni-directional flight, ascend, descend, steering, turn left/right, forward and backward function.
Auto-shut-off charger to prevent from overcharging
High quality lithium-ion polymer battery capacity for longer running time and powerful performance
Flashing LED Missile / Rockets, which can be turned on and off from Transmitter
Indoor & Outdoor use
Suitable for kids above 14 years old

Included in box:
3-Channel Transmitter   NOTE: Box says 3.5ch. I assume the ".5" is the function to turn the LED's on and off!
Automatic Battery Charger
7.4V 1800mah Li-Po Battery
Instruction Manual   NOTE: Manual is in both English and Chinese (although the English is a very poor translation!)
Spare Main & Tail Blades  (But your gonna need more than 1 spare set, especially that tail rotor!)
