| Hey Kevin,
I loved that heli. Unfortunately I traded it a few months after that funfly (Mayday '06). Since there was no US distributor at that time, I was scared to death of putting her in. She sat there looking pretty most of the time.
If I could afford another one, I would definitely get it. The newer carbon fiber versions are even nicer looking, especially the new canopy (I love it!!! ). If I remember correctly, I believe mine weighed about 9.5-10 lbs rtf w/ fuel. Because of the low weight (especially for a 90) it had great collective authority. The rotor head is fully adjustable as well. You can have it very mild or wild, whatever suits your style. It was also very fast in FFF and did not have any pitchiness. With the unique tail setup, it had tons of tail authority. CY liked it when he flew it.
If you have the money for one, I would highly recommend it. I hope to one day get another one.

| By the way, I shamelessly stole your homemade voltage tester idea (1A load) with the resistor from Radio Shack and have been using it ever since. The $4 that cost beats the pants off of paying $40 for one

I wish I could take credit for it, but I was told how to make it by Kirk from Fromeco. It puts a 1a load on your battery and is very easy to make. I'm glad that you liked the idea and you are putting it to use.
Talk to you later.
