I ordered one from Terrence at Chinese Jade and should know what this thing is all about in about 10 days or so............37 inches of rotor blades should be interesting!! Terrence is a great guy and awsome to deal with......Ive purchased from him many times

Yeah this thing is much bigger than what it looks like in the pictures. Each rotor 17 inches diameter, about 22 inches or so for the body and weighs almost 2 lbs comapared to an 8 oz 14 inch long CX2 coax!! That mass will not be your freind in a good crash though Im not so sure I have the room needed in my house to do anything but hover it, but I will see soon.

It runs 370 motors which are pretty popular with the car and boat guys (at least they were years ago when I was dealing with that stuff) so it should be pretty easy to obtain some power hop ups without trouble

I think, but not sure , that HBFP uses a 370 motor so those fourms should be a great source of hop ups as far as the motor goes.
Good Luck and keep us posted!

Will do and get some comparison pics posted as well to get a feel for the size. I can already tell you from the pictures that the "two tone" ally is silly on it and I will remove the anodizing at some point. Its petty I know, but who puts blue and red ally on a military camo heli!!!!!
Probably parts from and existing model already they are using.

Esky sells a CH-46 on Xheli.com... very similar to the Walkera version
