Default RE: Gasoline-powered helis

I got into a Predator Gasser for around $1700+ or - with the kit and electronics. I already had my own radio. I LOVE IT!!!! EVERYONE at your club will be envious. It gathers an audience every time I fly it. They love the smell of the Coleman fuel I run it it, too. Surprised noone mentioned that. It smell like you're grilling out. and it lots cleaner.

I do wish I'd have gotten the 26 instead of the 23, but I was told the 23 is smoother and I bought it for a camera platform but I'm having a hard time settling down and building the mount for it. It's too fun to fly aerobatics with!

Kit w/G23 - $995
V2 Torpedo Muffler (a must) - $125
Collective Servos - $206 (9252's X 3)
Gyro/tail servo - $189 (401 w/9254)
Carbon Mains & Tail - $100
Receiver - $100
and misc. parts and stuff to finish it.
