Everyone seems to think so poorly about x-heli. I am a heli pilot for my job, but new to rc heli. I purchased a raptor g2 premium ed. from xheli and I think its a great heli. I have crashed it bad twice and had to fix many parts on it. Every time I ordered my parts from x-heli and they have been helpfull and fast in their order processing and shipping. My only complaint is that nobody told me the premium edition has a longer tail boom. Other than that it has been great. I am hopelessly addicted to this hobby. I agree the g2 was a lot to start with, but its a learning process and fun as hell.
