That really looks great - have you posted it in the scale section here on HF, and on RR, in RCU andi RCG....you should. I am sure they would love to see it.

Any vids?

That looks like a very nice Scale Heli - What are some of the specifics?

What motor, ESC, battery pack? Did you get the retracts with the kit?

You also need this tail upgrade. you can see on page three of the instructions the roll the upgrade plays in holding the fusalage.

Looks like battery #1 supplies at least 1 volt less under load then the others, and #2 and #4 supply a lot more then #1 (1.8 and 1.7V).

Also looks like you would still have a lot of flying time left on all of them - specially #2 & 4.

I will be testing Thunder power and Flight power next weekend when I'm back from the lake.
