Ha, awesome, sammy64. I was flying mine in some honking winds a couple of weeks ago, and it was a LOT of fun . I have about 4 deg negative pitch in the collective to keep it down in the wind, or it would have been even more exciting.

Couple of other things of general note while I'm here:

Rollingball showed the align motor heat sink on his motor, and mine was getting a little toasty so I got one and put it on. It keeps the motor quite a bit cooler, and I like it. I have mine facing back into the cavity in the frame where there should be good airflow, and so it doesn't keep me from threading the battery leads back past the motor.

Tex-- got a couple of the GPMP0613 batteries, and they give the MX quite a boost in maneuverability over the 2100, more than I would have thought from the 50g diff in weight. It remains to be seen what the difference in flight times will be (I get about 9 minutes from the 2100 taking it easy) but so far, pretty good.

Last thing I've been messing with, only interesting if you're using Castle ESCs, is the CastleLink software and USB interface. It's around $22, and I wish I'd gotten it a long time ago. To start with, it gets you away from the $#@#@!! stick flipping to program the ESC. That was the one thing I don't like about ESCs period, and with the CL, you plug in the receiver lead from the ESC to a computer and then use the Castle software to pick all the settings in a Windows program (I don't think they have Mac software). Click update and all the settings are sent to the ESC. You can even save different sets of settings on your computer to switch between them easily, and the program will update the firmware in the ESC (the onboard software that runs it) as new versions come out; this was really nice for me because I hadn't gotten governor mode working on the 450, but with a firmware update it works now, and the 450 is flying a lot better (governor rocks!). If you're using the Phoenix and have a computer, get the CastleLink.
