My Father's Mother's parents were Hugarian but sorry, 15 million people is not enough to get your language listed

We can add Hindi though but they have to narrow it down to one version. Like when I said Chinese I meant Mandarin, not the other ones. They have to pick just one (and they did, officially, although not in practice).

Like it or not you are right, English is taking over as "THE language of international business".

Lucky for me.

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! My.02

Seneca, frankly, if you really, honestly believe the new canopy and its mounting sys. is an "improvement" than buy yourself a fleet of em and sell off the shuttles you have now cause they all have old style canopys that are now inferior! If Hirobo bolted turds on the bottom for counter weight youd applaud it Im sure knowing that you feel they could never ever do anything weird, overengineered, or wrong ever, everyone on the web knows your feelings on this matter so . Im simply stating EXACTLY what I saw, EXACTLY. The fella as well as almost everyone else who owns one of these also gripe about it so Im not in left field here pal you are, sorry if I made ya mess yer diapers N all.

Yea,yea, I see your endless fleet...................never the less my main point and I will stand by it is this, the canopy sys on the sceadu is not for a raw beginner as he/she must re-do several adjustments requiring removal of the canopy, my before mentioned post stated this, If it was 90 degrees out and I had to bend over the thing twice as long simply because of an over done canopy sys. Id be a lil tweaked yea, I can remove my Rappy canopy in 5 sec., thats taking my time of course. I do like the shuttle heli in all its flavors as you do and also their larger helis and their scalers but I dont have to own the Sceado to know I wouldnt be happy with it unless it was upgraded.I think if the canopy pins and screws dropped in the grass, well you get the idea. I have a XL60 that is very upgraded and I do like complicated helis with lots of parts etc. so being too challenged to progress isnt the issue, nice try.

All the beginners ive met do fly with the canopy on because they tell me this and I quote: Im nervous and the canopy makes it easier to see the heli and stay orientated. They all do this to me I cant hardly convince any of them otherwise so, thats why I believe a simple fast canopy is the cats meow. Instantly upgrading a new heli is bull, you do it simply out of bordom its not necessary, any heli of todays standards will fly ok.
Depending on its use all the brands out there are ok, but beginner and hard core 3D machines are the lower and upper ends and must meet a certain criteria, the others are in the middle like the Hawk and Scedu and they have to be slightly upgraded or modified to be made more user friendly and to be able to do 3D etc such as the canopy we have been discussing or removal of the wire drive on a hawk to a tube for fast HH gyros, they all could use something is the pt. You make a lot of reference about my Rappy I didnt say too much about it but yes I have tinkered with it shimming it here and there tho my flying pals didnt do what I did theirs still fly fine, I get bored too. BUT Im open minded to all brands not just "Horribo" get it? Im willing to try em all including PHI etc...so dont judge me as a TT lover or a complete Ace fan its just what im using at this moment. Next yr it may be who knows but most likely Im pretty pleased with my Xcell and Rappy for now, I dont need 20 helis as I can only fly 1 at a time.
