Default RE: NON-DRAGANFLYER / OFF TOPIC DISCUSSION

Hi Clement7,
Your aerial video work is excellent - what most of us strive for! We're trying to decide to add a second heli to our fleet, and are undecided between the Maxi-Joker2 electric and the Century Condor gasser.

I have two questions for you, if you don't mind:

1. What model gasser do you fly?

2. Did you have the engine balanced before you built it, and if not, how's the vibration level?

The nice thing about the big electrics are that they're super smooth German engineering. Of course the shortcomings are shorter flight times and less lifting power. The batteries are also expensive, but if you baby them they'll run for 100 hours, and I think that makes up for the mess and fumes.

Thanks a bunch,
Bruce
