No kidding that has got to make it worth an extra 10 dollars just for the wording.

Wow, you got very close indeed.
I'd be scared to crash it just because I wouldn't have spares in stock for repair. Have you got enough flights in to give us your initial impressions on the new heli?

I think Bob film that for the MS composite blade review. He also film me a couple times to get me crashing on video, but no luck

I wonder how this would do with a 100 flat throttle curve on 12T? I'm not stick banging yet (well, somewhat, but nothing like you anyway), and the extra flight time would be great...I'm just looking for a little less bog than my 430xl. Here's the link to flight video (which is very impressive): https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=129438 Thanks again Fireup...If I keep hearing such good things about the new heli, I might need one for myself.

Ok, it happened. I was hoping I get 50 flights before the first crash, but it was only 15.
Tail hit ground from too low piro flip. Tail spin out of control but was right side up. I added power to gain altitude for an auto but realized main blade was also damaged. Hit hold and lose all head speed, it nose dive to hard ground. Damages: Blades Main shaft Torque tube Landing gear busted canopy bend in motor mount. Sorry, Bob's in Hawaii so no video. Good news ATD perform as designed.

So all the tail drive gears were fine and only the TT snapped? Maybe align is making them the weak link on purpose (or by accident). They are all breaking in the same spot...
Yes, the ATD looks like it worked perfectly!

Yep, TT gears all good. LHS had mainshaft and landing gears, but no TT shaft. So I just epoxy and ready to go again tomorrow.

Thanks for the crash update... I'm thinking 450 Pro w/ Jazz 40 and Scorpion -8 on 4S... You think 4S would be a waste of time/money? From what I've seen, it's really strong on 3S, but everyone's running 30C packs...I'm not going for crazy HS, just an unboggable heli.
