Hi Jeff, Well, this is the budget bird so please don't judge me. I had a crash last winter and rebuilt but on the first flight a linkage in the head broke in 2 and so it crashed again. I am just now getting it back together (going to LHS tonight to pick up new tail rotor drive shaft) and it will be flying this weekend.
TX/RX Airtronics RDS8000 Motor - Hobbymate HB3650 1700kv @ 1600w - cheap and plenty of power (using the 3800kv version on my 450) ESC - Turnigy 70/80amp SS Servos - HKS-9257 - these have lasted through 2 crashes without damage gyro - Assan GY-250 (just put on and still need to test - was flying GY48V) - Also have been flying this gyro on my 450 and it works amazing for $10! 3000 Mah 20c

I'll see what I can do. Its all back together now so maybe tomorrow evening.
Heading to SD this weekend and heli is going on the trip and I'm hoping to get some vids of it flying in the Back Hills. Maybe Mt Rushmore in the background? Now that would be cool!

Well, No vids tonight. I chased a vibration around tonight but I think I got it taken care of. I'll try to get it trimmed out tomorrow and then if all is wall, I'll take my daughter to the park with me so she can run the camera.
