blk822: Eh, across Puget Sound from me I see...Lol.. The HBK2 is an excellent heli from what I constantly see on these forums...I have a CX2, CPP, and a Trex 450 and the HBK2 is my next heli without a doubt...From factory I hear the only necessary mod to do is the brushless set-up with it. A lot of the "Vets" over at the WEEEEE....CP thread have one of these heli's, and gives it high marks...Just the other day CrashCrash on there posted some pics of his HBK2 (he has a couple) with a full scale body...Looks awesome, and throughout the thread you can see his other scale replicas, and info for the HBK2 if one was really determined...I'am looking forward to getting one one day, as they fly with the brushless set-up, very stable and much more at ease than say the Trex 450 from what I hear...Good luck...!
