seems to me that 2000 rpm is kind of slow, from what I've read about 2400 rpm for sport flying and 2700-3000 for 3D/aerobatics..

you really need to get a pitch gage man... the difference between a half-assed built heli and a well built one is amazing.. believe me, I did the half-assed route, sunday Tex helped me out, when it was all done, the heli is amazing!!!! and flies better too...
