I too am flying an Intrepid gasser. Good 3D heli for a gasser at that. I Just 'upgraded' (w/in this mo.) from G23 Hanson modified Stg 1, to the new G231. I noticed that the Hanson modified is noticeably more powerful. I'm not sure if its due to the fact that the G231 is not yet broken in (I barely have had a gallon through it). I was planning to sell the G23, but will wait and see first if this G231 will gain more kick as it breaks in (maybe 6-8 gallons).
