Default RE: Is anyone fliying the caliber 5?

Hey Joe,
In the video I am using a GY401 gyro and a Futaba S9254 servo on the tail. I was not getting the piro rate I wanted, so I have changed the gyro and servo out so that I am using a JR G5000T gyro. Its pretty fast. everything is stock on the heli except the horizontal/vertical/tail blades are carbon fiber. The canopy was prepainted when i bought the heli used and the paint has come off since the video so I have to get a new canopy ($75 for plastic). I also have removed the horizontal/vertical stabilizers as well. As for parts, Heliproz is usuall pretty good about having the parts I need in stock and being reasonably priced. I am selling this heli in the ads if you guys would be interested. Jeff
