Check out post #28. Ain't the first time, by far, and it won't be the last, either. It also helps others when they can read the responses, too, instead of keeping them all locked up in PMs.

I haven't had any problems with my tail gears on my 700x but I do wish lynx would've made some metal helical gears for the tail on this thing. I don't want other's horror stories to become my own. Mine will be flown at least through the 2015 season. Hopefully!

No money in it for bladem. Not many people got the patience to learn how to fly collective pitch helis so they quit and do drones which have got to be the most boring hobby of them all, no skill required and anyone can fly them. Drones is where horizon has focused their resources on. I consider people who fly drones are peeps who could never fly collective pitch. Just buy a mikado or hd heli, small companies with small overhead which only focus on helis and none of the other b.s. they make a profit and put out awesome helis. Forget horizon for collective pitch helis.

Every now and again you find an exception to the rule, with one such example being the ProModeler Servos; but because products like that aren't as crafty and cunning with their marketing, most people in our hobby don't even know they exist.

Promodeler servos are excellent and to my knowledge arent tied to china or just rebranded from another company. They are designed in USA and use select mil spec components. Thanks to their great support after the sale and service, Audacity Models has many times over earned my servo $$.

Just thought Id say that Its companies like this that keep me flying RC helis year after year.
