Hi Again Colstonman!

Well, I am partial to the Hacker setup as I did get some real good advice from Hoverup and others while in the process of researching. It's made in Germany, and I am quite partial to German products for their design and quality. As a result they are a tad pricey, but I'm a firm believer in that old proverb that you get what you pay for. AND, were I to build another heli, I wouldn't think twice about buying another Hacker.

Brushless motors (at least the hobby type) are really just coming into mass popularity, thus more brands, more competition and therefor declining prices. As that trend goes on, there probably won't be many folks using brushed motors 5 years from now!

There are lots of heli fliers using less expensive (but not by a whole lot) Mega and Jeti and probably other brand brushless motors, but I can't attest to their track records. Incidentally, my Hacker ESC is a Jeti! ... it says right on it. THIS is where the RESEARCH and the reading, reading, reading comes in! Don't rush it, if you do it right, you won't have to fiddle around anymore. you'll be in the air, not on the bench.

Nuff said.

Happy Choptering,

Russ

Oh, damn ... Fitz at www.fxaeromodels.com is where I got my Hacker combo.
