Agreed, upgrades "usually" are just for looks, minus the limited few that actually add value. The package deal from heliproz that included the Hyper wasn't much more ($120) than just buying the Raptor kit + OS 50 Hyper alone, so I figured what the hell. If I suck at flying it with all the stock parts, I'll put on all the goodies, hang it from the ceiling, and tell ppl I'm the best heli pilot in the state.
