| I finally got to fly 1 and look it over REAL close. Whoever overengineered that unbelievably hard to remove canopy should be publicly whipped,tarred,feathered, and dragged down a very bumpy rd.If someone told me about all the clips and screws I wouldnt have believed it till I actually did see it. Im really surprised it has no head cooling at all either that is VERY odd there is a reason why everyone does or else the other manufactures would save some molding plastic in this area I would think, deep summer will confirm all suspicions, remember here boys if you have to start modifying it then it isnt a great investment anymore. I also noticed the white main gears were being chewed up BIG time, that was either the kit or the builder, I dont want to say anymore about it other than its a lil over engineered there too, the Rappy has a LOT simpler direct belt setup again with no chance of eating gears. I will say its nice and big but overall Im not impressed and wont be buying 1 anytime soon. It definatly isnt the best 1st timers heli, a beginner heli MUST have an EASY on & off canopy period!
