It worked fine. No problems at all. I only switched to the BD 3SX because I wanted the rescue feature. The AR7200BX is much less heat sensitive than the 3SX. I didn't have any vibration related issues.

rhodesengr Registered Users Thread Starter My HF Map location Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Pleasanton CA	Heinzboss suggested adding Carburetor and Starting method. I put Carburetor under Engine and changed the fuel section to Fuel and Field Equipment and put Starting Method if there. __________________ This is your brain on helicopters!
