(forgive mispellings, i had some dental work, pain killers and cant think properly :P)

it flies great! with very little shake, i dont necessarily think its because of my modding. i REALLY think its because i balanced EVERYTHING out. items that were heavier or lighter compared to a matching part was either material removed, or tiny bits of weight added. (for main blades i didnt remove material, only added very fine tape to balance) the two SHORT tiebars even have molding where they flare out in the center, just a bit, so yup...they too had holesd drilled in the center. *pics in a bit*


the weights in the flybar were crossdrilled originally, but it felt like it was even more twitchy...??? (again maybe just my imagination!) so new undrilled ones have taken thier place for now. i think some wieght for stability is sometimes a good thing, i do not know aerodynamics/flight in real environment. some things are meant to be heavy probably. maybe its something i can get used too with time. but for now the stock weights are back one.

do NOT fly your heli with a LIPO battery pack WITHOUT HEATSINKS! i forgot to put mine back on after taking them off for some possible weight reduction, and FSSSSZAP. blown the 4 in one. local hobby shop should have it in stock. so hopefully only a few hours/day of down time. lucky me i am staying home due to desntist, so i dont need to wait too long for shops to open :P


something else. i know they make metal cores for the rotor head, i just havent ordered it yet. but i have noticed that if many of you are snapping the rotor head core, maybe you should use the training kit. (hopefully those breaking the cores dont have the kit) since i have had my trainers on, it has prevented the blades to dig into the carpet if i make a mistake when landing. just my two cents.
