Default Duct fan system for HB

Is this any good?---http://www.helihobby.com/html/hummingbird_upgrades.html

If any of you have it, how did you install it on your hummingbird (what did you do extra, did you use ties, glue, etc.)

thanks

Tell me how much better it is than the stock system.-(0 percent to 100 percent)

Also, does everything work the same on it, I mean turning left and right (does it turn better?)

Finally,
can you tell me how to install it

I heard from the expert guy (the one I see on almost every thread) that they are heavy and not good for normal flying?

Is this so?

Also-Which Gws Edf 50 did you get, there were many wit different type blades.

Can you give me many pics of your fan system-installed (like 5 from diff. angles)

Thanks

Here's one that is pretty straight forward. What kind of tx do you have?

what about the cg issues? I heard that they suck since they are heavy and mess up balance. Also-can you still do tricks with them on?
