One on the way. Can't wait. Christmas morning description sounds about right.  I've actually never broken one anyway, but the 'word' seems to be that the bird will be more stable.

| It is impressive aint it? It seems a big step at the time but it's well worth it. Did you go to the 7.4V or the 11.1V? At present i've found the 7.4V more than adequate.

| I recommend the 7.4 V LiPo as well. I'm well chuffed with mine. Good flight time and plenty of power compared to the lame stockies.
