Torquestar,

Very well said. I agree 100% with everything you stated above.
The Blade 400 was the perfect choice for me, my circumstances and what I wanted out of my first CP heli.

Why these guys (TREX owners) don't understand that just because something is good for them, that does not mean it's good for everyone else in the RC heli world.

The last three videos [link=http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t394954p1/]HERE[/link] (First Post) are all stock except main blades and battery. Looks pretty good to me for a $500 helicopter.

EDITed: To get back on topic.
Here's a stupid little tip: Sand and round the ends of the canopy mount rod.
That makes it much easier to reinstall the canopy.
