Wow...very nice. I just got the same fuse myself 2 days ago. I'm going to put MX400pro mechanics with upgraded electronics. I've started to rework the main head mechanics because I want to install the tail rotor on the left side of the fuse and I'll need the head to rotate counter-clockwise.

Sweet Heli? maybe.
New heli? well, maybe a classic.
My new/used Hornet X3D. My first heli and I am on about the tenth flight with two crashes under my belt. Currently, I can safely hover it tail in for ever and ever. I am still practicing some tail waggles. Here she is hanging in my hobby room.
Dig the barbecue skewer training gear!

I'm new to flying helis, so mine isn't quite as big or detailed as many of the others I've seen here. :o
That being said, I'm proud of my E-Flite Blade CX2 MD500.
...and I can say I've never crashed my heli!

Beauties! Can't locate a photo of my heli, but if you'd like to go for a ride with me, just go here. You'll love the landing.
Put on your seatbelt! I'm bucking a headwind, so we're going around a few times!

What ladder? That's where I always land!
It sat in the tree all night with the LED's blinking. Looked like the cops were here all night! The next morning, I got it down with a fishing pole. No damage...and the lights were still blinking!

How much trouble did you have making the transition from coaxial to single rotor heli's? I flew single rotor... then got into coaxial for some reason.
Now, I find it very hard to go back to the single rotor heli. I spend most of my time trimming things.

That Raptor E550 is cool! It doesn't need rotor blades!!!
j/k...

I sold it because I wanted to go electric... and for some reason, I went for a coaxial first. Now, I've lost my touch with a single rotor heli.

I found it here --> http://www.mmanrow.20m.com/helicopters.htm
Tell him Guy sent you.

I paid the extra money, and had him paint it for me. I applied the decals and gold stripes myself.

She flys just as easily as the "stock Blade CX2" -- but she looks a LOT cooler in the air!

Thanks for the info, Guy! I'm going to check them out now. I was about to ask if it flew well.... but you beat me to it.

Thanks, Buzz! It's my favorite heli body as well.

Here's a video of my Lama III..... yes, I just can't resist the good flying cheap ones.
I'm also not afraid to fly them over 100' up there! It's about time to move up to a bigger one. I videoed this while I was flying with the "Buzz Cam"... LOL It's my little 5 in 1 edvr attached to the side of a pair of glasses with no lenses. You'll notice that I need to adjust the angle of the camera.

Here's two pics of my still favorite heli, a LAheli Maxir SE. There are quite a few videos of it floating around the internet (with an older canopy), the 2nd picture is actually from the primary Seattle newspaper (Seattle Times pic #4).
And here's a link to the post here on Wattflyer for a video of it from today: http://www.wattflyer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33334
