We've just recently gotten out shogun off the ground, and still in the setup phase. Remembering this is the first CP heli I've ever flown, it's an amazing machine. It flys well stock, with 2100Mha packs. We have a brushless motor and SC on standby. We have 3 different sets of blades (woodie like 90's, stock plastic amd CF). I heard for 3D flying, the plastics work best.

Hope you get one you like,

Scott
