My Posts This: Topic Forum | 4G6I purchased one and I'm no expert but the videos that are posted by Buildem336 don't represent my experience, the way I received it out of the box. The heli flies well, it has great cyclic response and the tail seems to hold good so far. As far as power it didn't have enough with the stock motor to throw it around like you see in Buildem336 videos. The heli comes with the WK-WS-12-005 motor with 12T pinion it has a low head speed and poor climb out. I read that the WK-WS-12-003 motor with a 16T pinion works well so I tried it, it's the motor that comes in the 4G3 brushless and it was better but still not enough power in my opinion and with my flying experience to flip and roll it with confidence. I do believe a better pilot with good collective management would be able to control it. I now have purchased the new turbo ace out runner that Wow Hobbies has the 81220 with 20T pinion. The head speed is good and the climb out seems to be there without the bog. I just installed the motor yesterday and this is testing it in my basement, the winds were too high to try it outside yesterday up to 30mph and temps in the 30's. The one thing with the motor is you get some clogging on start up I hard wired it to the ESC like recommended. All in all if the heli has the power now I'm happy with it, it flies like I would expect for a heli it's size far better then the 4G3 as far as the tail goes, the 4G3 was way under powered the way it comes also. I think fling a heli this size you will loose stability over a 200 size heli, it's like the difference you see in going from a Gaui 200 or Trex250 and comparing it to a 450 or 500 size heli there is a lack of stability from size alone or maybe it's just me. The transmitter will give you the ability you need to adjust it to your flying style. I hope this helps.
