I'm not going to make any recommendations just yet, just observations and first impressions, but I like mine (so far) and what have You got to lose?

I personally think that extra height is going to all but eliminate 3 problems that are inherent with E-Flite's stock set up.

1) No blade clack due to the increased distance

2) No flybar to lower blade strikes because of the increased distance AND limited travel of the flybar, so no need to shorten flybar.

3) Rock steady hovers that only a longer (as in stock) or shorter with increased weight flybars give You without sacrificing good forward and reverse controls; I haven't seen the start and hesitate motions I had with stock.

I really like the looks; it's kind of a titanium color; maybe a shade lighter. It uses one screw that is long and goes all the way through. It's aluminum, as well.

The heli is starting to look like a real one with all the mean metal on it.
