Why dont you just buy a Blade 400 and it is all done for you? I have a Belt and I love it but the 400 is a better heli. Probably by the time you get it all together you will have more in the Belt. BTW, my stock Esky radio has been flawless.

Well I figured, since I like to see how everything goes and works, that I would install my own stuff. I think it will show me what each componet and rod or whatever operates if I get in there and play around with them. Choosing componets such as gyro and servos will teach me what is the correct tolerances/torque that should be used ect... I plan on sticking with this hobby even if at first I wreck and break everything. These things take work and practice, and I think they are simply amazing... Mix and matching parts and adjusting this and that will make me a better pilot IMO.. Even if I never get it up in the air, it will still be a nice shelf piece, lol..

I chose the Belt CP because basicly I heard nothing but great things about it, and it is on par with the more expensive T-Rex and is compatible with T-Rex stuff. Also I like the looks of it the best IMO... I haven't heard anything bad about the Belt CP and given the price.........it was the one to get..

Once I get profficient with the 450 Belt CP, then I am off to a 600 E-Smart heli for the size. I'm gonna take this hobby seriously(after I pay the bills and put food in the fridge, lol) but yeah...I see alot of fun potential here.
