ORIGINAL: Banana Jack

i dont want to go much bigger than my axe though. is the blade 400 bigger? i cant really tell. do they make a smaller version of the blade 400?
It's a little bit bigger than the axe. It's not a big difference in size but it's a world of difference in how they fly.

For something smaller there's the trex 250 or honey bee King II (I guess there's actually a version 3 now). They fly well but again, the size is going to make a difference.

I have a HBKII but never fly it (though I suppose I might fly it more if it had a fully functioning gyro). If you go with the HBKII, upgrading to a brushless motor is a must, don't bother with the stock motor. I bought the "bare bones" kit and set it up with my DX7.
