Looks like it has all the upgrades, lol. yes I have already purchased this one got a good deal from lhs going out of buiss. fun arf picco for $140. but I know its just the basic. haven't even took it out of the box yet. been prac. on sim. Already looking for upgrades go figure hehe. I have looked at ikarus, pauls and rads, good sites. like I said I haven't even flown this one yet and just kind of trying to get an idea of what extra parts I would need to keep on hand. with the exception of blades and tail boom thats a given. I have flown nitro planes for years but this heli thing is sure humbling lol. I will look into the upgrades you mentioned, are these to make it fly better and stability or just better parts than oem. Also what is your opinion oh the HH chip for the board. thanks for the info and help.
