RE: Xtreme 1st Impression?...?..!!!
I must say that I have the MH swash, lower rotor head and upper bearing cap. The rest of it is the Xtreme. The Xtreme blades, grips and extended upper shaft are all good purchases. The MH stuff I am ont as impressed with. The swashplate seems to work fine, but the upper bearng cap was WAY too small for the shft. They actually give you SANDPAPER [:@] to remove enough of the outer shaft to get it to fit. No thanks! E-Flite Alim cap works great. I am also not a fan of the Xtreme body. The Xtreme canopies are fun to paint, but the placement of the mounting holes is so close to the edge that they break very easily. [&:]
I can't say enough good things about the Xtreme grips and blades. If you read goldslinger's link above, you will see how to fix these problems. Once I trimmed down the plastic spacers on the upper head and cut 1 mm off of the ball link, it flies perfectly. What's more is that I don't replace blades anymore. Well, I did break one blade, but it was pretty cold outside when I flew that day.
