Default x-cell wow!!!!

Just though I would post this, this morning was my first experience with a x-cell gasser and I came away impressed enough that I have now ordered one and cant wait to get it.
I was out at the field flying my trusty ergo 60 with a few freinds and we noticed a guy with the big gasser. we went on about flying and just as I landed mine the person with the gasser throttled up and up it went as he freaked out and started yelling, as it turned out this was his first attempt at r/c heli flying, I ran over and grabbed his radio and was able to get the heli under control without a problem, so wy not fly it for him. let me just say that if you have not flown one of these you do not know what your missing.
NOw for the fun part. the guy who owned the heli at this point said to me gee I hope it dosn't run out of gas, I did't put much in!
As my luck would have it about 5 seconds later it the engine got real quiet so I droped thi stick and hoped for the best, at about 25 ft from the ground I slammed the stick up and it settled into one of the best landings that I have ever made. The funny part is that everyone there said wow it must take a long time to auto rotate that smooth. The fact is I have only autorotated on the g2 about 5 times ,this was my first actual auto. Lucily this guy bought the heli built by someone who set it up right. I do now beleive that there was plenty of luck at the feild today.

Tell me more...I am flying a rappy 30, it's my first heli, and I am catching on REAL fast. I love to fly and I know that it will be a hobby that I will pursue for many years to come. I have only watched a Raptor 60 fly and that is it, never seen an 80,90 , or a gasser. Is the power and performance even greater than that of a 60????? That would be truly amazing!!

I love my gassers during the winter.
