      Nice looking heli, I have a friend who is starting to get the bug so might be a good first step for him, bigger heli's just seem to scare people off, so auto level and panic button are a good feature

      It would be better than mCPx, Nano, or 180cfx...... less twitchy I bet.

      Upon further investigation, using Red Bull 130x parts for a 230s 4-blade is way cheaper than Rakon. I can get the entire head assy, grips, feathering spindles, links, swash, and main blade set for $70 (USD) where Rakon wants $100 for head, grips, and links... no swash or blades. It's fortunate most of the larger Blade micro-helis use a 4mm main shaft! Yes, I have 4-blade on the brain this week. I'd put one on my 120sr if it weren't for the damn fly-bar. :D

      That would be right. Oz is usually kept on the back burner.
