Yes it's pretty and will add some stability. What it will add more of is responsiveness. While that sounds great, it's the newbies menace. That's why it's so easy to fly with training gear. Slows everything down. I highly recommend B/H, but keep it cheap unless you just can't stand it not to bling it out. Once you get to a point you're flying loops and stuff you've got to know you're gonna get a Trex or something and keep the bcp for indoor flight. No matter what you do to this bird, unless you really want to be a test pilot and go for the belt driven tail (IMO also not worth the hastle), it will always have the tail motor to deal with and you'll get tired of it. Ok, now I've spouted off. Somebody elses turn to counter the other side of the debate. You know you want to, go ahead. I love my blade, love to fly it. It knows it's place and does it well.

Bob--in answer to your Q about pitch, the main thing to watch for is that the pitch at an appropriate time is in line with the throttle curve. Too much pitch with too low head speed won't work, it will just bog. And if you exceed 10 degrees at full throttle it will do the same. What I do is pull the motor leads, throw it in idle up, center throttle and then line up the blades with the flybar. If you do that it should make everything fall in line so that in normal mode you'll have pretty much zero pitch at zero throttle and in idle up you'l have +10 / -10. Hope that helps.
