I got ya. I'd have to say that the stock Esky is bottom of the heap in terms of quality out of the box. I never had a flight that lasted more than 10 seconds before I did some upgrading. The ESC's are prone to failure (sometimes spectacularly), the servos are weak and inaccurate, and the bellcrank setup for swash control has loads of slop in it. The gyro is also the cheapest one they could possibly get to go in there. That said, I had very little in this one used so I moved the servos to hook them up direct (DTS mod) and upgraded to 17 oz in digitals (Solar brand which I'm pretty impressed with), I put a decent HH gyro on and had had to replace the ESC already. The machine is predictable and consistent, so I can at least fly it. I give it a shot of silicone lube once in a while to keep everything moving smoothly and do a thorough pre-flight before every outing. I'd still like to put a really fast tail servo in to make it hold better, but the heli is serving its purpose as it sits to get me in the air and let me work on some flight skills at the park.
