Excellent! Thanks the the video and the pics!

I still can't count the main gear teeth from the pics though. Next time someone sees it, please count the main gear teeth.

Andy flies well - nice to see it in in the hands of a more "typical" pilot because it shows how the heli behaves throughout it's performance range.

Also, it would be cool to tach the headspeed. It'll be nice when some production units make it to the field.

I eally like the black anodized metal parts. Looks great.

Anyway, next time. Again, thanks ******!

Thanks guys.

This is one sweet heli and flies very stable as well as goes extreme 3D which is the best of both worlds for beginners and experts.

Seeing as how there is a Futaba logo on the tail servo in the pictures, I would say it's a Futaba S9650.

I think the JR DS3400G would be perfect for it.

It's a 9257 servo on the tail. Yes a 3400G will work great too but I think I am going to go with a 9254 for this heli.

So i'm curious now, are you thinking 9254 for balance reasons or something else after seeing and flying the real thing?
