Wow, 3 blade rotor head, awesome. You probably saw this link if not, here it is. About half way down the page there's a video. Looks sweet.

Oh, I'll be giving you a PM next week, need to get a couple bare bones and some B/L motors, Crashcrach (Vic) refered me to you.

It may not fit the king, but we will have to see what we can do. This will be a killer project.

Status: online 		You know, it is 99 bucks plus shipping which makes it either very cheap for what it is, or very expensive if you know what I mean. It looks very cool and I am really contemplating trying one but I had been hoping to come across a guinea pig on one of these forums and so far no luck, lol.

Dave - whenever you are ready, just let me know. I have several arf kits and a couple of b/l combos so just say the word and I will get you fixed up. I will make sure to let crash know how much I appreciate it.

Joek - did you get your b/l taken are of? If not, I have a combo for you also just in case buddy. If you did win it, let me know what he included in the package. You know I include everything including the pinion of your choice plus any tech support I can possibly give, of course, even if you do not get it from me, my tech support offer is always good.

Timing is everything, LOL. I just sent you my order about, 3:30 PM today. Two barebones (color doesn't matter), brushless motor, esc and some other stuff, plus a couple of your services. If you have any better recommendations than what I ordered, PM me or E-mail me.

Thanks in advance,

Dave / Choppersrule

Status: offline 		I'm using a 3 cell 1350 MaH battery with the exact same motor set-up with a 9T pinion. I'm getting about 13 minutes of flight time hovering around and battery and motor stay cool.

Remember you are space limited in the battery area on this copter. It won't hurt you to go long, (and it may help on the crazy C.G. balancing), but just don't exceed the Width and Height.

Status: offline 		OK guys, if any one needs a sturdier set of skids, the TREX 450 Landing Skid Set fits perfectly. My HBK2 stock white skids seems to flex fairly easily. Installed the TREX skids tonight, frame screw spacing is exactly the same on the skids. Mine are black, so they match the frame and skid tubes a gunmetal grey. Gives a slightly wider sturdier stance. Comes with antenna tube also and it mounts higher to frame. Price was 7.99 @ LHS.

Status: offline 		OK, has anyone got their hands on the HBK2 carbon fibre edition or know anyone getting them in yet? Just saw the pics and specs and it appears to be all carbon fibre and CNC parts. Waiting to see when they start showing up.

Status: online 		Not released yet, I have been on my distributor to get me one and a new falcon se and neither have been released. Both are distributed by the same manufacturer and from what I hear will be released at the same time. I will keep all posted on its release, rumors of pricing are around 189.

Kabob - I'll call you around 11 today for lunch

Status: offline 		Thanks for the skid tip ezvw. Ya, the K2 CF edition sounds good. But so does the CP belt, T Rex 450, etc. Trouble is that I already have too many models and not enough common sense. My solution ? A bigger garage.

Status: online 		ALWAYS a bigger garage!!! One can never have too many toys. I have done several belt cp carbons and I really liked them. They did not take off as well as they should have due to the Falcon 3d and the closeness in price to the Align 450's. Honestly, most of the carbons that I finished out were done using a lot of the align parts a I found it to fly every bit as well. I think personally when you get to that caliber and price, I am sold on the Falcon. Sure it has quirks, but they all do and for no more than a Falcon sets you back, they are very tough to beat.

I do like those skids, I keep ordering some for me, but I keep selling them before I can put them on my bird, I am a geek for bling and pretty parts so I keep ordering the chrome and blue and man they look incredible.
