this is RICK (in case anybody remembers!) and this post is meant to make CHOPPERSRULE smile. It shows I am coming back and for the first time, diss=assembled a heli, AND SOLDERING TOO !
I am only following the MANUAL for upgrading the PRO with GYRO and BRUSHLESS. The instructions are very clear. If it works well, I think I will try to replace the receiver with the DX-7 system and use it to full advantage. But first, want to find out if the changes, per the manual, work well. I am getting rather nervously discouraged reading y'alls reports, I confess. I hope my own strange LUCK continues to hold and the PRO flies well. Playing PawPaw Host for more than a month , ended last night, when my daughter and grand B went back home. So I couldn't WAIT to get back to the bench. Here's proof of today's work. Still have to solve the GEAR/PINION meshing problem that I mentioned a while back. ok gents. like the GREMLINS ..... I am BAAAAAAAACK.........

Barrick,
I dont have experiance with the BL motor. But I found the manuals instructions to work spot on for me as far as the gyro install goes.
Also I too must give my vote of confidence for the blade. Mine really only has problems when I pilot it into the ground. (which is all too often) It is not the sturdiest RC ever built, but when I fly over the tall wild grass near my house she even survives a crash here and there without any repair. I have definately started trying to fly this heli a little more conservitively so that I have more days like mrasmm described. Sorry to hear about those of ya who are havin' all the grimlins that just wont go away.
