Hey dditch, Good to see you......I see you visit other forums too! Thanks for posting this list! I'm curious...... why do you recommend the 450 SE Carbon Edition over the 450 Pro CF Belt?

Both of you and bdavision make good points here! Until I had read this post, I was just a phone call away from the Pro CF. I love the looks of all that carbon fiber and metal! However, bda has brought up some very practical considerations. Yes, if I order three copies of the $29 dollar kit, I will have spent more than enough to get the Pro CF. But, I will have all the replacement parts i will need for the first few weeks.......hopefully. Getting all these parts at such a low price is really such a great bargin! Also, knowing that I do not have a great deal of money hanging on my next wrong move may help me get over those early flight jitters! I like the whole concept!

Once I get to where I know what I am doing, then I can consider upgrading this kit, or maybe just buying the Pro version then. So bda, I'm going to go back to your first thread in this post and make my list. Is there anything else i should add to this order? Are any little parts that two extra copies my not be enough? What about screws.....are the ones that come with the kit what you use?

Dditch, I will refer to your list as well. I think you mentioned a tool kit i will need. If you think of anyhting else I should consider, pleas let me know.
