You're right...just got to put things into perspective...go from there. When you're dealing with a problem that's intermittent or looks just like 50 other problems and you can't nail it down...you tend to get a little pi$$y. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO glad I smoked that 3-1...just made me feel better. When the new one gets here and the problem goes away...I'll be a happy camper again. I think getting rid of the S-75 servos may have also been a real GOOD deal. Had one laying around and I put itin the Corsair for rudder (I put the rudder control in tonight)...the S-75 took a dump. There's not much pressure on a static rudder...and it broke. I think the HS-55's will work out much better.

Choppersrule Here:
I see that there are some issues/debates going on with the Blade Series and the TREX Series.
That’s what the Forum is designed for, INPUT. I’ve learned sooo, much on the fourm, thanks to
many on this thread and a host of others.
One thing to keep in mind fellas, is that we don’t have to justify or defend, what we purchase or
why we purchase any heli or upgrade. It’s a personal matter and/or preference. Also, it’s always a
learning curve, regardless of any of our decisions, when moving to a bigger/better heli..
If you’re a complete noobie and never have flown a heli before, it doesn’t matter what heli you
get. You will crash it in 30 seconds, probably less..(Of course there’s RADD’s)
Blade:
I’ll keep my Blades for now, I love the fact that I can fly it indoors, and too, love to tinker and
rebuild. That’s my nature, however it’s not for everyone. Yes, the parts do fail and wear out, but
they’re Plastic, unless you’ve upgrade to CNC stuff. I think that’s where I’ve gone wrong over
time, to much Bling, I’m back to stock with the CP, except, CNC swashplate and dual tail
motors (works great for my type of flying), Both motors, main and tail, due fail and wear out quickly, hmmm,
only 10 bucks.
Trex:
“JUST THE FACTS JACK“, from the movie Stripes, Bill Murray.. Great Movie.
Not getting technical at all... It’s a dream compared to the Blade Series. If you can fly the
Blades, the Trex is a marvel in comparison.
Someone mentioned that it’s to powerfull and to fast.. Powerfull Yes. Fast Yes, however, keep in
mind that YOU control the heli... I don’t fly it Fast forward, backward or any direction, control is
100% better than a Blade. .(I’m the old guy) The Gyro is not a crutch, it’s needed in 3D flight.
All of our USAF aircrafts have them.
Suggestion:
My 2 cents.., make that 4 cents with inflation. . If you’re at a point with the Blade Series and can hover, fast forward and all that
good stuff and feel comfortable with it. Get a Trex, you won’t be sorry.
