by far the best scale heli I have ever flown, talking about my Magnum PI now, flies so smooth and easy, very easy to work on as well, you can have the mechanics out in about 10-15 minutes, telling you, these 800 size Hughes 500 are huge and easy to see but hard to transport, your back will get tired carrying one to far.

Thanks guys, now is all I need are servos, not sure if I will go with the KST HV servos like in my Magnum PI version or not, great servos and plenty of torque but I think I can go with some cheaper ones on this one, or should I just bite the bullet and go for it and get the high dollar ones...

Update, had a little setback on the Cayuse but was fortunate with hardly any damage, tail blades and drive shaft is all. I decided to take the tail rotor unit apart and inspect the tightness of the parts, don't know if some of you know this, these Roban tail rotor blade holders are set up for trailing edge control, I take them apart and spin the dogbone shaft around to make them leading edge control, that changes your left/right control so you must change your tail rotor input in the radio and direction on the gyro, I forgot to do this and my Cayuse spun on me and hit the tail rotor blades, the sudden stop snapped the drive shaft at one tip where it's threaded and took out the blades, so I barrowed the parts from my Magnum PI version and here is the first test hover after repairs, sorry it's short but it was really windy and I didn't want to take a chance and wipe out another set of tail blades.
