Have a look at this http://www.littlerotors.com/articles...0206/index.asp
I'm considering a caliber 5 with hyper engine cause I've had so much good flying with my cal 30.
According to the review it's really good!

Hi!
I've had a Caliber 5 for about three months now and I really like the look and feel of it. OK, I'm a newbie at this but I have alot of experience with r/c models and I'm a really picky guy when it comes to quality. I've put an OS 50 Hyper Ring in and it's a joy everytime I start it (which is really easy). It gives alot of power, and I think it will be quite enough for advanced 3D.
The bad things about the Caliber 5 are really only two things:
1. It has, for reasons I don't understand, gotten a really bad reception on the market. It's a slow seller and you hardly ever read about anyone using it. And this is in contrast to most reviews, which gives the Caliber good grades on pretty much every level.
2. I'm not sure this is a problem anywhere else, but in Sweden the prices on spare parts from Kyosho really sucks! A tail boom for the Caliber 5 costs 5-6 times what a boom for say a Raptor 50 does. And Kyosho is a BIG brand in Sweden. Anyway, this shouldn't prevent anyone from buying a Caliber anywhere else...
