Heh, I guess I'm odd then in what I like on my heli.

I still use wood sym blades (the CF blades were to heavy for me), Run the stock AEK upgrade kit, Use the stock tail motor with a white GWS tail fin, And fly with the lightest pack I can find (TP 900mAh). I enjoy acrobatic flights with my Blade I just don't see the value of either the DD tail mod or the CNC swash they sell. All I've seen from the swash is it add more binding to the head. I'll keep mine just the way it is. I'd rather put the $35 for the swash and the $20 for the DD tail upgrade into another battery and double my run times. IMHO the BEST upgrade you can do is get a computer radio. Once you get the throttle and pitch curves worked out its so much better flying. I now fly in idle up only with my throttle curve set to 100% for all five points with a standard pitch curve and the heli is a joy to fly. I've flipped and rolled it before I got the bell hiller head. Unfortunatly I've not been able to see the difference in those types of acrobatics yet cause of the weather but I anticipate it will be a completely different machine with the new head and that much more amazing. I've done all the upgrades. I mainly keep going back to stock...
