I decided to put my tiny 450 class heli in a body. I did not fly it much because of it's small size, they are much harder to see than what I was used to (Raptor 30). It was an interesting challenge to get the body to fit in this non-Trex clone. This Xheli model has the servos coming off the sides which made it difficult to clear the fuse. I had to cut out the window openings and relocate the pin magnets in order to get the mechanics in there.

A fellow flier that I have known for about 7 years passed away recently. He was active on RCGroups as grouchy1. Gary showed me how much fun you can have with foamies. Before long I finally came over to his side of thinking and never looked back. He learned how to have fun in this hobby without spending a ton of money. He even bought a cheapo HK heli and proved again that they do fly and are loads of fun. He had an usual life but at the flying field he had many friends and we are all going to miss him. I enclosed some videos and photos. He was also a huge Homer Simpson fan.
