Hi All,

Good news on my end today, my shipment from Hobby King has arrived. I guess I'm Blessed by the Best!

The box looked as though it had been sat on by a couple of Sumo wrestlers but upon opening in front of the mail man I found no damage at all.
I was surprised to see that the Zippy H's came with extra female balancing connector so you can make adapters. The balancing connectors on the pack are standard E-flite type not Thunder Power. That works for me as my charger accepts both.

The HK-450 initial inspection is great! The tail box is identical to the SA which is poor but works. I plan on upgrading to CNC eventually. I looked over everything closely and found no defects so far although the main blades that are supplied with the HK-450 are junk and won't be used. They are much heavier than the stock Align 325 woodies. The HK-450 blades weigh 36 grams each compared to the Align's @ 22 grams each. As a pair the blades of the HK-450 are 28 grams heavier, YIKES! To put that into perspective that's 5 nickles and 1 penny of extra weight. I would imagine that this would help for someone just hovering but not for inverted flight and such.

So far, so good![8D]

Blessings,

Jay
