Being a veteran at RunRyder, I can tell you that those guys over there do not see the mini/micro helis favorably. The average crowd there owns a 50 or bigger. Most of us still own the smaller stuff, but the conversations concentrates on the bigger ones. Additionally, if the components are not "replaceable" and "discreet" it will not sit right with that crowd either. Just look at the Radio Shack RC equipment, it has a board that controls everything. That is the mentality there. If it has a 4-1 or whatever, is not looked as a hobby grade heli, but just as a toy that could be sold at Radio Shack.
