Thanks guys, that was the biggest "rush" I've had in RC Flying since soloing with my plank trainer. I flew half a battery before landing to get myself comfortable. I let the ESC & motor cool down then switched batteries and just decided I was ready to try it. I felt it best to get a lot of altitude and a lot of forward speed as I had NO idea how much altitude I would need. Turns out it wasn't that much. I probably covered just 15 feet with that loop. I was shaking the whole time I was setting up for it. I just kept saying "start out straight and level". I think I was too slow on going back to positive pitch as I exited the loop lower then where I entered it. I'll surely be trying it again next time out

In regards to the head speed, I'd like to have a discussion about that. I'm going to type it up in Word then paste it here as I think it might be long but I have some questions and wanted your feedback. Will get to that soon.

Yes Jeff, the B400 does have a great power to weight ratio. I LOVE the sound these stock blades make. I had a set of Align 315's on it and they are a bit shorter and not as thick as the E-flites. It gave the heli a real high pitched squeal about it that I didn't like. For now I will stick with stock. I can see a set of CF's for it soon enough though.
