There is a difference between arguing and wanting to know some facts. I usually do some inquiries here before I make a purchase. ...and no, I don't know better, which is why I'm here. I'm most familiar with electric and big gas boats. I've had a Blade CP for a while now, and that thing is just squirly. I just recently picked up the MX400 pro used, for a good price. I don't like the Chinese ESC it came with so I want a different one, but I also would like to save a little $$ for parts when I ding this thing up.

I am going to mess with the throttle curve tonight and see if I can get my heli to start like a heli should. If I can't, then I'll opt for the Phoenix.

Questioning people shouldn't get me shot down. When I'm learning something new I like to know the WHY behind it so I'm more educated on the subject. People who will just take the first peice of advice they get without questions are asking for trouble. In other forums here, I've seen some pretty bad advice from people who seem to know what they are talking about, only to steer a new guy the wrong direction which leads to wasted time and money. TEX, by the number of posts you've got on here, I suspect you know what you are talking about. But, I still just cannot take the first peice of advice I get as gospel. Really though, thanks for your help.
