hI, I just bought a Bergen intrepid for a really good price and have some questions. It came with a g-23, is it better to use the air cleaner or a velocity stack? Is it better to use gas or Coleman fuel, and is the new EB lexan canopy a two piece thingy? Thanks for your answers.

You flying in dusty conditions? If so go witht he air cleaner.
Coleman does not stink and you can store your heli inside. The Zen motors seem to love the low octane.
I have no idea about a lexan canopy on the EB, mine came with Fiberglass.

Yes, the lexan canopy that comes with the EB is a two-piece affair that you paint from the inside, then glue the two halves together (you can paint it from the outside if you want, but painting it from the inside gives it kind of a "clear coat" look.)
A fiberglass version is also available from Bergen.
