| David, Yep, I'm the one... I also make a carbon esc/gov. tray and cooling installation kit for same for the Joker...
I run the 24-5 with 24t pinion and 32 cell Ultra Metal (Panasonic) 3000 NiMh, or GP-3300 NiMh batteries... I have found these two batteries the best "balance" of the "mortal" batteries... Of course a couple of packs of LiPos would be nice, but I could buy another Joker for the $1600 that would cost...
I use the Orbit Pro and am patiently waiting for the V2.0 chip, although I have really had no problems with the charger as it is...
I have found the MAH 690's to suit me best and fly them on that machine... i have also tried similar size & weight V's and Zigsaws but the MAH's are the best for me... I am now flying the long flybar and light paddles from Joker and they make the MFS controls quite nice...
Are you aware of the Minicopter Joker Group ???
Lots of pictures in the gallery there and good search engine for help issues... All in all, a good bunch of "Jokers" there...
If I can be of help, don't hesitate to contact me on the side...
I'm sure you'll enjoy the Joker...
