Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!

Great review Jim[8D] It's nice to see the thread getting back on track It sounds like a very successful endeavor. I was very impressed with how stable the Blade 400 is, very much like my T-RexSA. My friend has gone through multiple servos and gear sets. I would suggest Hitech or Futaba servos when replacement is necessary. The Futaba 3114 is NOT the same size and NOT a direct replacement. They are smaller and the mounting holes do not line up. I was able to fudge mine into the HBKII but I wouldn't recommend doing that
Be careful with the neck strap. I was inspecting the Blade and I rested the TX on the ground with the strap still around my neck. The strap found it's way on to the throttle stick and moved it forward causing a sudden spool up. Scared the crud out of me[X(]

Also if you have Windows Movie Maker you can import your video, drag it to the time line, edit if you'd like, and save to your computer. It will automatically compress the video and turn it to a file that can be upload to a place like YouTube. It's confusing at first but a lot of fun to do when you get used to it.

God Bless!
