I'm hoping to score a Lepton at the AMA convention, or I'll call readyheli. Anywhoo, my eyes are tired and I gather the heli has a couple of issues and requirements (note another great review by "the man" himself, James Wang, in Rotory Modeler this month).
So if you have your Lepton dialed for 4s packs and 3D flight (powerful but not extreme) please help me make a "shopping list".
1. pinions (22-23)
2. tail blades?
3. landing gear(maybe just add spacers a la James review)
4. motor (Axi,Hacker,Hyperion)(optimized for 4S and maybe alittle 3s2p2100action)
5. batteries (Evo 4s 3700)
I'm planning on CC85amp esc, Medusa BEC, Futaba 146iP, Logictec 2100, JR3400G, and 3 Airtronics 94761 or Futaba 9650's on swash.

I am running on 5S but I can help with the other components.
Go with the GY 401 and 9254 insetad of the Logictech 2100T and 34000G, use the ATX 94761 on cyclic no mods needed Stay with the FP Evo packs "NF", 68mm tail blades. Go with the Kontronics Kora motor series. I believe Corrado "Heliup" is using the Kora 15-14 with the 24 T pinion correct me if I am wrong. The Kora motors are smaller than the Hyperions and Hackers but put out more power, torque and are very effecient.
Good luck and hope this helps a bit.

I'll look for Kora's. I'll find out who makes 68mm CF tail blades. I have the 401/9254 on my Raptor50 so I know how that works. Thanks
