The paint job only took about 45min total work time. The clear coat balance just seemed so much better than tape. I'm on my 40th or so flight and after beating my Blade CP up learning. I've been taking my t-rex steps real slow. I practice on sim for about 30min -1hr everyday and my t-rex handels a lot like the dolphin on G3 so that's the heli I practice with most.

The carbon fiber blades seem to have problems with the center of gravity. One of the blades was slightly longer than the other although they weighed the same. I had to wrap 6 wraps of scotch tape to get the center right and then had to add 6 wraps to the center to get the other blades weight the same. I've read on trextunning this problem is common with CF blades. The best performing blades I've used so far has been the woodies and I have fiber wood and CF blades. I've only had one crash with my t-rex and it was my fault. The heli was still in forward motion going away from me and i couldn't tell. So when I touched down it tilted forward and the blade struck the tail boom. (Bent main shaft . twisted tail boom)all in all not a bad crash.
