very nice...you're going to love this heli for a long time....

now...a couple things to think about that can help you love it even more...

landing gear..the stock gear is really to small (IMO) for this size heli...Raptor 30/50 or Trex 600 gear will give a wider foot print to the heli... making it more stable...

canopy... get another one... and paint that sucker bright colors... the brighter the better. it'll be easier to see at distance. on an overcast day that white canopy will fade away...

other than that... there's nothing that needs to be changed to keep that hurri in the air...and keep a smile on your face...

Some fun huh?

Myself, I would not use the dirt as a heli-pad. The grit will gum up washout and tail pitch sliders pronto.

Use the grass.

+ 2 on everthing above. I use TREX 500 landing gear though, nearly as wide, and to me looks better. IMHO

The first pic is a great optical illusion. The flybar looks longer than the rotor blades.
