CombatPilot I feel your pain regarding the diffenence in prices. I looked over the C-H website and read that they use the Chinese-made boxes also. I could get a complete setup (electronics only) for around $80, which unfortunately still doesn't compete with Hobbyking (and I must assume others). Hopefully my other half will let me order the ignition pieces tonight.

Is it realistic to assume that with the right carb. and reed setup, that 7500RPM with an 18-8 is attainable? That would fly this 12-13lb G202 nicely, I think.

I got the picture thing figured out. In the preview post screen it doesn't show the pictures, so I wasn't sure I got it right until I actually looked at the post.
