Has any one else been flying their Caliber 30 for awhile now? I've got almost 4 gallons thought mine and it has been holding up good. I'm just wondering if any one else has had more time on theirs and could report any issues that they have had.
So far this is a great heli!

I dont have very much time on mine. But it was a really easy helicopter to setup. I had a little problem from,inexperience, with setting mine up but I took it to a fun fly and had a rep for xcell help me set it up. He flew it around (making it look easy) and was very impressed with it.

The 50 is a slightly stripped down version of the 60 and is equally only "slightly" less expensive..... on the order of $1000.00 or so for just the kit...
Has anyone found a better CANOPY for this poor soul? I think that's it's only down fall.....

First time I saw a photo of the Caliber30 I thought wow! now there's a Raptor canopy gone horribly wrong. I understand that the windshield is actually a bunch of stickers I hope they stick, it would look a lot worse with out them.
From what I've read in reviews it's best to go with the ECCPM over the mechanical mix due to slop in the in the servo tray, I think it would be interesting to hear some real world reports from real world people.

I had it , it flew very smooth and solid. The ball links where the best I have ever seen they where silky smooth right from the get go. While flying it was much quieter than other machines , 3-d flying was OK.
