I'm really surprised to see them jump into the 450 arena...

Not to be a tail rotor...  ..but when they install a metal swash and metal hub as stock, call me. |

You're not being a tail rotor. This is still a mostly plastic heli and not a cheap one at that, but they have beefed it up and it appears to be 3D capable...At least in the video.

Sossit Precisely! My CX3 has a plastic hub and swash, it doesn't sit still in the air as pretty as my CB180d does. Why? Metal hub, metal swash, tighter control. Hence, to be nasty-er, I'm not crazy about $459.95 and still need to bling up for metal, dude. Same reason I didn't care for the SR: Yeppers, plastic and plastic and it had a wicked pheugoid rocking nose-to-tail for that reason. And that's an upgrade from coax/CB180D, eh? And as I told our BBQ-flipping boss: I'm gonna sit out a shade, let someone else play test pilot _first_. Let's see the reviews about six or so from now, then, we shall see that we see. And again, it's the 4th, stay hydrated! \_/?  |
