For any and all of you who are smashing your Axes and Walkeras and Blades into smithereens considering getting a bigger heli like a TRex. Don't do it. You'll just end up smashing a much bigger heli into parts that are just as small let alone more expensive.

In cse your thinking "look ast this guy he just got a TRex and thinks he is high and mighty", remeber that I began flying a Fun Piccolo (fixed pitch heli from Ikarus/GWS). That heli i s about as steady as an epilectic playing DDR Remix!! But parts were super cheap and smashing it into the wall didn't hurt the wallet. Now AxeCP parts have started to get alot cheaper, main rotor blades are now selling for $13 or more. Blade grips are only $3 a set. and those are the things people break the most. They break easy for the same reason that cars have crumple zones. To absorb the force of impact and protect the more expensive and delicate parts.

Take all you lumps now while your wallet can still handle it. I bet you would hate to buy that pretty 450Se and then drive it into the wall and smash that expensive rotor head to tiny pieces. If you have that kind of money then by all means go for it. I personally made sure I could keep the Axe in one piece before even touching the larger heli.
