I have a theory

[J-Heli]

I have a theory ;). I think that as Gaui has realized the flaws in their EP200 design, they fixed them in production, but haven't formally announced anything. I know that goldslinger just got his, but his is the shaft driven version, which hasn't been out nearly as long as the belt driven version. I didn't get my Gaui for a REALLY long time because they were 'making changes' and reprogramming the ESCs, and I live closer to Taiwan (where Gaui is based) than any of you so I would get the 'new' and 'improved' version long before ReadyHeli etc. would have it in stock. I had a reprogrammed ESC 3 months before ReadyHeli started to carry it. I know the type of tail drive system doesn't affect main blade grip slop pall that much, but like I said it's just a theory. This could explain why I haven't had some of the minor design flaws that you guys are experiencing.

I have no slop in the grips on my SD 200. But, I do have slop in the swash.

...me too... more than i would have thought, given the overall quaility of the heli... anyone else got a bad swash?

my grips are a slop fest. my washout assembly is really sloppy too.

HA! Funny as Heck!! Once again, you guys deliver the "soda-through-the-nose-syndrome"!!

Back to topic: Yah! I've thought that too, the thing smacks of prototype. I've been a bit p#ssed for the last couple of days, but I'm over it, still love my little 200, would not part with it (so to speak ;-).

I just hope they can get it down cold before Align delivers the T-Rex 200!!! This size is so perfect, I just can't believe that there's not more competition.

I'll add to your theory as well Heli Cuzz, I say that we're all a bunch of risk-takers and early-adopters. We enjoy a challenge and depend more on their own wits than what others say.

Pays off pretty good, don't it?

I'll tell You one thing.

You Gaui owners think too little of Yourselves. If You can put one of these things together from scratch, then the T-REX 450 is a Cakewalk ! !

You Guys are the real Pros !

I built one totaly from parts. It was a handfull becuse everything is small. Was a good experience though.

Gaui hasn't updated their website in months so I doubt information will be readily availible. Let's hope Align does make a 200.

Buzz,

Was it Lasik, or did you get that electron microscope?

I use a jewelers optivisor for this ol' Fart (43).

I need bi-focals, can no longer deny it!
