new used b400

[tldanos]

I just bought my first cp heli. A used b400. I got a pretty good deal, the previous owner replaced the gyro with a JR g2703d, the cyclic servos with hitech hs-65hb, and the tail servo with a futaba s3157. I changed a few parts, blade holders and bearings, put trex 500 landing gear, and blades, so far just as a precaution. So far it is a really fun heli to fly and learn on. I've been through two feathering shafts already, but all is well and I'm enjoying the learning process. I'm not sure if I should do any upgrades just yet. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you're doing really well already.

You have the key upgrades already, although you don't mention whether you have a different ESC or BEC added? If not I would suggest adding a cc BEC to avoid the risk of brown out due to the extra draw from your upgraded servos.

Having tried most of it, I'd say that adding metalwork is mostly bling. Making the change to FBL is the next step change in stability and flying enjoyment. This is pretty easy, you have the servos already. You would just need a controller (ZYX is a good low cost option) and head.
