I finally got the time to put some flights in on my Ion today and all I can say is :shock:

This is my first large heli, biggest before this was a raptor 50 and I had a blast flying it today!

I put like 4 cycles on the packs and I can feel them coming to life. I am running the gamma 710's with a 55tooth gear at this point since my 60 tooth had some defects and it is performing great!

Average pack temp was 120 F and the motor was 155.

I am in love with this machine, gonna have to get a second real soon!

Just thought I would share my excitement :)

It's about time they move on to someone else.

There are 4 ION's at the filed today. With yours there should be at least 7 this weekend.
