I just purchased a Blade today with the 9 tooth motor and upgraded blades.....I haven't got it yet but I've been reading from several different forums opinions and comments from different users. I used to fly glo heli's about 5 years ago (2 Shuttles (belt start), Raptor 30 V1, 2 LMH's but lost interest in them for several reasons. #1 - replacement parts, constant engine tuning, and fuel (I DO LOVE the smell of nitro burning though ).

Now some of you might remember the Telebee HH gyro and smaller Piezo gyro's, well that's what I used to fly with and ALWAYS had a decent hover but RARELY a hands free smooth, non-drift hover. I find it comical now to read viewer comments that are complaining of a 2 or 3 inch drift with the Blade. I mean, damn if it's holding a heading and only drifting 2 or 3 inches, you're not even flying - the wash is causing the drift. Is the Blade really that stable in a hover? I'm also baffled how the tail motor works since it's not controlled by blade pitch like 30, 50, 90 size heli's. Can anyone break it down how it's controlled??

Lastly, does the FMS software work with the radio supplied with the Blade and if so, does anyone have a Blade program I could download?

Thanks!
