Hey Mark, this is an ancient thread. What ever happened to all the Horizon stuff you bought? I have five of this excellent machine. I think it still is one of the coolest looking helis out there! I am planning on making some molds to form new canopies and shrouds. I think if one would take some new technology, (ball bearing stuff, newer engines, carbon blades, etc.) this bird would be tough to beat! Hope to hear from you. Bruce K.
