    Pyro you asked about the 130x I have one and when every thing is working it flies really good. I have had a couple board issues along with tail bearing problems but for the most part flies great. I started with a SR which imo does not fly real well, I then went to a t-rex 450 and now also have a 300x. The 130 sees the most use as I can fly it in my yard.

    Yes it is. I have been flying these for a short time (8 months) and find them a lot of fun now that I am for the most part not crashing.

    Nope, both have flybars.

    What are you guys using for oil on your bearings. I was using WD40 but now using 3 in 1. I can't believe Align doesn't prelube their bearings.

    That's one of the better 3D videos I have seen in a while.

    So how are you guys doing with the RC helis? Get anything new? I've been slowly finding some free time to fly them again and I'm getting my Raptor 50 ready.

    No time to fly. Lost the motivation. Never advanced beyond flying big figure-8 circuits with the T-Rex 450, but it's still fun. I might sell it soon though. Flew my mCPx over the beach last night.

    I lost interest too for a while when I was frantically working on S&F during the last year, with seemingly endless overnighters. Now that I am actually beginning to get some free time again, however small that is, I began flying them again. Messing around with the nitro Raptor 50 really renewed my interest in them again. I actually began flying these things because of you.

    Horizon is blowing out the RTF Blade 500 3D with the DX6i DSMX tx for $399 with free shipping. That's a steal, especially since it includes the Li-Po also. They were selling off the BNF version for $249, but those are now sold out. Both versions have carbon bodies and blades. They are also selling off the RTF MCPX for $99, free shipping.
    I flew my Blade 400 a few times and it was fun. I will probably sell that one since I got the B500.

    Flybars... meh. Flybar helis are obsolete. Too many extra parts.
