Hi, It's a great heli for FP verison. But, change servos come with it!!! Century servos is really cheaper. For the rest, nothing to say in bad. Electronic board is great. Maybe also an new gyro but the gyro comes with is not bad too. It is very fun to fly indoor and calm wind outdoor.

Have fun!!! :wink:

Hi,

No problem with your HS-55. Good servo for this application. For this instance, I don't use Li-Po batteries and system on Fix Pitch heli. I use the standard Ni-Mh batterie pack comes with the heli. It's enough powerful for this heli. Each fly is 10 minutes in general.

If on day, you think to put some Li-Po batterie with an ESC controller, don't forget to replace de rear motor for the tail for the high torque version. The stock motor is not enough to tough the load of Li-Po. With the ugrade, all is correct.

Keep me in current when you will receive your heli and have flown it...

Have fun!!! :cool:
