i know some people were talking about shaving the tail rotor to make it smaller. well i tried using a tail rotor from a helimax rotofly, and this seems to work well. it's not too much smaller but small enough to make a difference. and until the new CF tail comes out this is what i will be using. have made 4 flights with this tail rotor and it seems to stick well, even during FFF with no tail stabilizers. with the stabilizers i would like to assume that this would be a stable setup. And yes a brushless setup is kind of silly on this heli, why not move up in size if you are going this route. if you are ready for that type of performance then you are ready for a bigger heli. but i will be buying the new upgrades as soon as they come out. our store already has them on order, so the day they come out they will be on my heli.

This question is for Jason. On the aluminum swashplate, are the ball links shortened any to increase sensitivity, or is it just the same as the stock but just upgraded to aluminum?
