Hello All

I would just like to say that this is a lot of heli for $160. I normally fly the high end Logo's, but I wanted some thing a little bigger than a TREX 450 to play with.

Over all the heli is a great machine. But there are a few things that need to change:

1) The kit should come with a the metal head block stock. The plastic one looks like it is good for mild flying only. I still did some piro flips and tick tocks with it but I was very scared

2) The plastic washout base is way too loose stock. I cant believe this even got out of R&D because its way off. Again this should be replaced with the metal one.

But I just went ahead and spent the extra 30 bucks to get this little guy built for 3d. I also picked up some of the new RCP 425mm blades so I can really hammer on this thing.

But my over all expenses for this heli are pretty low considering the preformance. Heck even the stock HDX motor is pretty decent...

I dont know how this compares to the T500 but man Im pretty happy with this one. It also looks like it will make an easy flybarless conversion for future projects.

Here is my setup:

500 SAH
Align 75A ESC
HDX motor(the blue one)
3x Futaba 3102 MG servos
Logictech 2100 with 9257 digital
Duralite Regulator with 850mah LiPo
4s 4.5Ah TP 22C pack

The flight time for just crusing around and mild 3d is about 8mins...flys forever.
