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

Scott,
I just went through JAG's site and couldn't find the carbon fiber blades. You may have to make 2 separate purchases if you go with them. I found the HBKII RTF in white for $144.99 over @ UsHobbySupply.com and he also carries all of the goodies. I would highly recommend Michael @ USHobbySuppy.com for the purchase. I took Choppers/Dave's advise to the tee through PM's on the HBKII. Do each upgrade one by one and enjoy the flights. I flew mine right out of the box with the stock motor and ESC. Very little power but it flew. I then installed my Brushless and was amazed at the performance, but I still couldn't get the blades to track. It was either one up or one down @ various RPM's. Carbon fiber blades and extreme pro turnbuckles cured that.

Get some T-Rex tail blades, just works well... trust me It doesn't look like he carries the Align blades but HDX.

43t tail drive upgrade is a great upgrade as well~ http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...58122d95480643
Smooth gear w/ one way bearing Micro heli~ http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...58122d95480643
The last and probably best is the Telebee Head Holding Gyro. What a difference! Full collective and the tail doesn't move! Very good purchase~ http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...58122d95480643
Don't forget the Align pinions.9,10,11t set~ http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...58122d95480643

I forgot the brushless motor and ESC! Two different motors to chose from, 3900~ drop in with no modification to frame, Never used it PM Dave, I think he has. ~ http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...58122d95480643
3800 is what I use and in video~ http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...58122d95480643

Those are some of the best an @ one site with 1 time shipping. Like I said Michael is great, I spent a lot of time with him on the phone when I placed both of my orders. Shipping was prompt and I was emailed tracking #'s, no surprises. The only time I've delt with Jim is calling to find he only does Paypal and I don't use that.

God Bless Ya Scott, anyway you go you'll love the HBKII.
