how is CG on this heli? looks like it would be a good bit nose heavy? no?

upgraded to a 24oz tank - CG at half tank is perfect
I cut the 700 DFC aluminum battery mount in half to attach gas tank to it first - then slid it into the track - works great.

curious myself, i was starting to look around for a good deal on a used 700n to convert when i saw the conversion for the 700e. i fly a lot on my lunch break but i have to bring 2-3 helis with me to fly in rotation while the motors and esc's cool down. a gasser would be perfect plus i can swap my electronics over to a new 700
