I am getting out of the hobby to spend more time with my son so I am listing my favorite helicopter. Of all of the helicopters I have owned, this is by far my favorite(and I have owned MANY).

This helicopter was not purchased as a kit. I built this heli piece by piece. This is a very rigid helicopter because of all of the frame upgrades that stiffen it up.

Heli has about 40 flights on it with 1 crash. All shafts, bearings and gears were replaced after the crash as well as the frame sides.

550mm Outrage carbon flybar blades
95mm Align carbon tail blades

Here is a list of the electronics:

MKS DS1210 on cyclic
Align DS650 on rudder
Align 600MX 1220kv motor
Hobbywing Platinum 100 ESC
Western Robotics Hercules BEC High Current
Mikado Vbar blueline fullsize 5.2 Pro
Hobbywing RPM sensor
2 Spektrum DSM2 satellite remote receivers
Ebay bluetooth module for Vbar


Helicopter has $499 worth of upgrades not including shipping. I know I am not going to get this back out of it when selling it but this will show why the asking price is what it is.

Here is a list of the upgrades:

Align DFC head upgrade $70
KDE Direct Performance tail control $78
KDE Direct Battery mount $42
