redvtr100 & Crossfade,

Sorry to hear about your crashes.

I will look further into the Kasama head. My other concern is that the Kasama (or any aftermarket) head will require custom modifications to work. If they come out with one that accepts stock TT woodies that would be great though and I might try it. What is their website URL and who do you guys order them from? I would really prefer to order from a USA company.

Oster, it seems the stock TT woodies fly GREAT for me so far. I will try my black Align wood blades soon and buy some of those FG Aligns to try too though. The white and red wood Align blades made the heli vibrate even after balancing them so I'm just keeping them for emergency.

Update on the MT... I replaced the stock plastic mixing levers (after one broke and caused the crash) with TT aluminum ones. While she was bladeless, I spooled up and noticed quite a shake at low RPM. Turns out the darn flybar paddles were .2 grams different! I added tape to balance them and now spool-up was SMOOTH! (I now remember reading a review where the author said the flybar paddles were out of balance.) Then I decided to add another set of Align flybar weights (my instructor has 4 on his MT). I had one set against the paddles and put the other set about 1" in from the 1st one.

I also added the HRPoly X Visual/Audio Lipo Low Voltage Warning Device.

Took the MT out in the gym today, flew 4 packs great and the HRPoly alarm worked pretty well.

Now I just need to get a couple more batteries. I'm not too happy with the "top of the line" Thunder Power eXtreme V2's. I'm getting less time from 2 of the 3 packs after 12 flights than I did when they were new. The revolectrix pack from FMA however has been AWESOME! I plan to get a couple more along with another 4S charger.
