I have a 4#3 brushless and its awesome. I'm starting to fly while turning. I have a Falcon40 and it was a piece of junk until I put a metal head on it. The metal made all the vibration go away and it was beautiful. Well after 15 or so flights with no major crashes it was starting to vibrate again. I was still flyng pretty good but then I had my first bad crash. Replaced the frame and all the head parts. I powered it up in my hand and there was 0 vibration. I flew it and it still vibrated a little and the trim was way out of wack. I've been adjusting the linkages until they are pretty good but there seems to be an unstability that it didn;t have before. Heres my dilemna -RTFHELI is selling the brushless for the falcon40 for almost a hundred bucks. I eiher buy that and deal withe the vibration or but a new heli. I've heard alot about the G2 and how stable it is but no way am i thinking of 3d flying and the more complex parts turn me off -at least with my falcon I can take it apart and put it back together no prob. The falcon flies pretty good and i guess I could keep learnig on it but I know the motors are gonna start quitting on me -any advice?

Step up ;D
The G2 is not that complicated or expensive to repair.

Hi pa:
It sounds to me like you answered your own question!
By all means, max out the Falcon, if you don't want to deal with CP's.
I would certainly be doing that with my HB, if I didn't view it purely as a stepping stone.
Best,
kent

Does the G2 have a walkera counterpart? Will I have trouble getting parts?

I can't wait for Mckrackin's response here!
I think that he's Mr. Walkera man. He has owned a bunch of em, crashed a bunch of em, created Frankenheli's from the remains, etc.!
He's really pretty amazing!

Who me?  I've had about a dozen or so.lol. It has been one of my favorites. I love my Trex 500 but the G2 was always good to me. I was not that good to them though.lol. |

19000rpm highly recommends them also.
One thing I like about the G2 is that you can use the $70 copilot on it. I have heard good reviews on doing that.
Im still wanting one myself.
