Same here, I sold 13 EDF jets because I Iost my runway across the street from my house, I can fly helis because I don't need a runway, I can just take off from my front yard and fly. That is one thing nice about helis, I only fly scale though, that 3D flying does nothing for me. I'm haven't spent all my money yet so I have been looking at another project to build, been looking at your Dakota build, looks nice, or another Hughes 500, the Roban 800 size Magnum PI is back in stock, so many choices and haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet.

Hi George, your new 429 is a good looking heli, and they fly pretty well...this is the 429 I was fortunate to be awarded at a heli fly-in...I did replace the main gear and motor pinion with a "quiet-er slant-cut set-up" I got from England...I also built a flying test platform for it, to test all the mechanics and settings....good luck and have fun with your 429..!1 Photo
