Hey crash I was looking at that same heli. But with already having the HDX head and tail, I just picked up the frame and saved a few pennies but it looks solid. When it comes to looking for a bare bones kit there are too many options. They all look good and for the most part, parts are interchangeable. I also think it's more about what goes into the frame rather than what brand the frame or kit is that'll determine how well it'll perform. So EXI, HDX, T-Rex, CopterX, E-flite.........it's all good. But sorry to hear about the crash, what were you doing?

Update on the Futaba 7C: Everything seems great I just have to mess with the Gyro settings a little and readjust the Sub-Trim for the Gyro and I should be solid. I also adjusted the Aileron, Elevator and Pitch in the Swash menu to 70% and the servos are responding very nice now. Only problem is, my ESC is reaching 180-190. Manual for it says that after 110 it'll drop voltage to help prevent it from shutting off. So this morning at work I'm going to cut a small hole in the top of the canopy to see if that'll help. I know on my Esky frame I had the ESC on the side of the frame and after cutting a hold out so it could breath my temos went from 170 to 110 constant. Also going to swap out the 13T pinion for a 11T and see if that'll help too. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks, Joe
