Just ordered the same set up so I will let you know how I progress. I have set up an exi 450 and flown a blade cp pro so this thing should be much more stable. I will be using my Futaba 7cap on this. Good luck!

HK 500 CMT Build
I have read a lot of reviews on this heli and I one I received is in very good shape with no real part problems. I am a beginner and just doing basic flying right now. Heli seems very stable.
I received this 500 2 weeks ago so you have a judge on time. I have nothing to complain about and for $100 I think I received a good heli. I do not understand all of the negative junk I read. Rc has certainly changed in the last 10 years since I did 1/4 and 1/3 airplanes. You get a heli for $100 put about $50 of ungrade parts in it and then have the same heli that costs $250 or more. I do not understand what all the complaining is about except people seem to have too much time on their hands writing negative replies. As a beginner I would like to see a simple threat put up telling the parts that are bad, what to replace them with, and then have any new problems get added. Sorry if I am stepping on people's toes but if you spend $100 exspect what you are going to get is going to be a little less than the $250 heli. Please enjoy the 500 CMT as I am and don't worry about people with too much time on their hands Happy flying |

HK500CMT
It is very stable in flight and it was almost perfectly trimmed right out of the box. I am not used to the larger size yet, but as soon as I get a couple flights out of it I should be ready to idle up and let her rip. I like the set up I have and would not change a thing. The 3000mah 6s battery is just right, about 5 min run time. Have fun!

I have been running basicly the same set up for a couple of years.the things i upgraded are flysky module and recievers ( the recievers are smaller and cheaper ) i added the following align parts main shaft and belt apart from that i replaced canopy with fibre glass version and added any alloy upgrades i could along with hk carbon boom. With this set up have gone from complete newb to now flying not only the hk 500 but allso align 600 n and a elyq 90 but i still use the hk for learning new skills before progressing to the nitros
