Got my X5 today

[browndog]

Ummmm. Wow

I have built a few aligns and liked them. After looking at the parts from the X5 I was blown away by the difference.

Man, I can't wait to get this baby together. I got the flybar
version cause I'm not real fond of flybarless........yet

I think I know what you guys mean about the grin. Man, i opened the boxed and grinned my arse off.

The deal with my friend fell thru so I went and bought one

I think nexgen here on the forum may know where to find plain white canopies. I think he has a few custom painted canopies. Try asking him, even if he doesn't I think he would be the one too know where to find one at or maybe Dave at anythingheli.com might know also

Yes, we can get them, but do not stock them.

[browndog]

I would love to get a couple if I can. Let me know what I have to do and cost. I know I can get them from fusion direct but shipping is a bear

[adam crosby]

May I ask what you like specifically about the x5? is that grin still there?

I have a Gaui 255 grin

[browndog]

I just like the way it's made. I saw the flybarless and fell in love witht he style and quality.

The power, the agility, the easy simple build, crashes well parts are cheap flies awesome and looks just plain sick, and it can be tamed way down for a newb or turned into a super sick smack down machine by way of the microbeastx parameters.
And when you buy the (FES super combo) literally all that is needed to buy is a reciever and batteries, there's no need to upgrade anything

The design is so simple, which is why it works so well. I did a dry build of mine in one evening after work. (Then spent a week making the wiring neat)

The FES super combo is amazing value. I worked out the heli is just about thrown in for free.
