X3D 2005 design
I once wrote:
The main useful X3D improvements over the H2 stock:
Pre made canopy with stickers (better)
New frame layout with battery up front and Axi/Twister ready
Bell hiller mixer as standard in plastic
3 bearings in each blade grip
Ball in swash
One way bearing on main gear (auto's) new type with main shaft
Steel tail shaft on 4 bearings
Tail blade grips with small bearings
Tail blade bolts through the hub onto tail shaft securely
Carbon fins
X-3D Blades: Weighted 12g 257mm black CF blades E489s, the old H2 weighted. (Note that $99 deals swap in cheaper very skinny flexible TE480 GF blades that probably don't perform in 3D though hover/fly fine, avoid if possible).
The X3D is ~360g+, the H2 can be more easily configured with CofG to fly lighter 320-340g. Everything is possible with some thought  .
Given that the Hornet is pratically out of production, although I'm not fond of the look I would check out the LA Heli MaxIR/Ricco line for a similar experience.
