Would my blade even benefit from the aluminum swashplate? My guess is "not yet", mine is fairly new, so there is little slop in mine yet. I'm new to heli's and from what I see is this heli is good like it is, if you want more performance you should look at the others,(Trex,shogun,etc.)

I have a blast with mine, and it has really helped me with airplane 3-d stuff. Hovering a profile plane is simple now.
