RE: Need more power!
Set the computer to the specs listed in a thread on helifreak. They worked fine. The plasti-blade syms just plain suck. It takes too much pitch to get any lift that the tail can't hold the nose straight. Put on the flats and the model flies very nice. plenty of thrust, and balances out well in hover and ff. Tuned the gyro gain down to get a little more control, but now I need to fly the tail more. No problem, it's easy.
In a nutshell, I think this chopper is over rated. To get it to perform, too much money needs to be spent on it to make it feasible. I'm leaving this one as is and saving my money for something much better. The Mini Titan has my attention right now. I think it'll do what they say in stock form.
