morgan311: not sure what you mean "Anyone looking to get rid of a G2?" And what you mean by getting the "tail rotor dialed into the main rotor". I'm assuming that your heli is just spinning around in circles. But please elaborate on your problem and I or someone else will probably have a solution for you.

Well I'm finally getting the hang of it now. The training gear has made a HUGE difference in my learning. I've been saved countless times already by it, and now I'm starting to really hover. This morning I went for a "walk" with my heli, having it slowly flying forward ten feet away from me, at about 15 feet off the ground. I'm getting better at controlling it too, at times now I feel like I'm at one with the helicopter, I think of a movement and then it goes, and I have complete control, but sometimes I lose it and start to lose control, although the training gear keep it from tipping and I can usually regain control and land before something really screws up. Goes to show that with enough patience, and attention (not to mention safety!), anybody can learn to fly one of these. I'm looking towards getting a LiPo pack, talking to Robert over at Pure Hobby, who's got some really great service and deals. The last pack I bought from him was a PolyQuest 3S 2100mah pack and a charge guard, and I don't want to go with ThunderPower just yet if I don't have to because I've already got a charge guard for the 3S packs (by the way, if you want to get a LiPo battery and you've got or are getting a LiPo-compatible charger, do NOT skimp on a charge guard [aka PCM guard]! These units will monitor the voltage of each cell during the charging process and will cut power to the battery if any cell fails to fully charge, which keeps your charger from charging all your other cells if they're full and overcharging them, saving you a battery, a charger, and lots of money in potential damage).

So anyways, Robert recommended a 10C 1500mah 3s PolyQuest pack, which will weigh slighty more than the stock pack (+ .3 oz) and will be slightly larger, but should still be fine given the extra voltage output. What I want to know is does anybody know what the current draw is approximately? Should a battery rated at 13 - 15 amps continuous work fine with this heli?
