Jay- Tested out the 430L with an 11T pinion this AM, I liked it better than the 13T. The batteries ran cooler and longer. I did lose some head speed but it didn't affect the heli that I could tell. Here is some video of this AM's test. I was practicing inverted hovering. Started out doing some loop and holding it on top for short periods. Then went longer and longer. The last one in the video, I brought it down as low and as close to me as I dared. I'm still being cautious with it. Watch closely at about 1:50 into it. I SWORE it hit the ground and nearly just killed the throttle to minimize the damage. I don't know HOW I saved it, luck I suppose.

P.S Vimeo does a much better job than Utube, I'll be using it from now on. Thanks for pointing us there Jeff & Jay.
