I bought the silver one heli-direct has, and let me tell you...

NEVER AGAIN!

from the word "go" it has been a nightmare. I didn't realize that it didn't come with linkages, and since the Blade CP is different fromt eh esky CP2, you have to get the CP2 control linkages to make it work properly. I found that out after I had made some linkages from the LHS. Once I got it set to go, and got it flying, I used the dirt brakes, and that's when I found out the feathering shaft is made of brass. Yeah, it bent in 2 places, so that it was hard to remove from the head.

I decided to make the stock feathering shaft work in teh head, and well, it does, but not as smooth...

I was better off with the stock head, and bell-hiller upgrade.

Oh, and I broke the main frame lots when first testing because the head is sooo strong that it transferred energy to the main shaft and frame, and it deffinitely was biting my wallet. So now I have a $110 rotor that is sitting in a box full of other "spare parts."

Will I try the new blue head?
nope... I am done... I am now sour on teh experience.
Thankfully, I got the heli-direct airwolf body on it, and I am happy again. I like the look of hte black rotor pars with the carbon blades and airwolf body. It's a lot easier on the eyes...

Also, for anyone thinking of buying the airwolf fuse-

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE AIRWOLF THEME SONG WHILE FLYING!!!!!!

you get way too bold in your maneuvers, and will CRASH!
:-)

well, I did...

on my second airwolf body now, and I can appreciate just flying normal "full scale" patterns. I let my imagination do the playing and keep my fingers under control.

It is fun at the field. People beg me to fly the "airwolf" all the time. I gotta get one for my Raptor 50.
