I got one for X-mas also, it's great for what it is, easy to fly, easy to maintain, inexpensive mildly aerobatic. I've looped, rolled and hovered inverted, stall turns and such are no proble. Flying backwards at slow speed. Mine has about 15 or so flights now, no problems exept the covering on the blades. I recovered mine in monokote. For upgrades, I swapped to the 9T pinion motor, 3 cell 1320 TP packs with deans conectors, heat syncs on both motors and have been using flat and symetrical blades. Just for flying around in the yard, the flats are very efficient and give good flight time, for aerobatics the symetrical blades make things work better. I plan to swap the tail motor for a direct drive system for better authority and maybe add the bell hiller blade grips, but that's about it, it's been a blast.

Other than the blade I'm flying a century hawk, no upgrades to speek of. I'm new to the heli thing (less than a month now) but it's a lot of fun. A budy let me fly his 90 size Fury the other day and it pretty much set the hook, gotta have one. They'll never replace planes for me, but still a ton of fun and a new challenge.

[Doug Novelly]

Just started flyin the helis and I love it.

Gohbee Stinger .30
O.S. .37
Futaba 3010s on cyclics
Futaba 3305 on pitch
Futaba 9254 with 401 Gyro
Everything is stock, but I'm going to be ordering Carbon Fiber blades and paddles in about a month.

Had my 12th flight with it on New Years Day and I am already doing figure eights and forward flight.

That new Stinger 90 looks cool

[Shortman]

Here is finally a new picture since I found my cable for the camera.

Also, I got a question, anyone have a nice way to mount the antenna? Here in the picture it is routed through the skids in a tube and the rest is just left dangling for now, trying to think of some nice way to finish this.

[3Dkid330]

I have my antenna in the tube like yours, but at the end of the antenna, there is a tywrap around the boom support with a small length of it hanging down, that has two holes in it that you feed the antenna through. Hope I made sense, it's kind of hard to explain.

[Shortman]

I kinda undestand what your saying, but a picture would make it perfectly clear.

[JeeUm]

Just loop a rubber band around the boom support and tie a small knot in the antenna to the rubber band. You can also use a small servo arm.
