Default Opinions on Kyosho Caliber .30?

Flies decent for a 30 size. I wish it had more power. I don't think it needs a 50 but maybe the new ThunderTiger .39 might be a good fit. Fueling is a PITA because you can't get to the fuel lines up in the canopy. I'm not a fan of the hex start but there's no other choice here. I can't get the runout on my clutch shaft below .003" I bought a second shaft and it's the same. I tried one on another engine thinking maybe I had a bad crank but it ranout as well. The runout causes some vibration I don't like. The glowplug is a long reach through the "chin" of the canopy. I haven't come up with a decent place to mount a remote plug. I wanted to put a header tank on to provide easier refueling but I haven't found any good way yet.
It has it's pros and cons like every other heli out there.
