It's all I fly now. I have 2 heavily modified t rex's. brushless, lipo and hh gyros. one is normal length with a hughes 500D canopy and 4 cel lipo, the other is a stretch kit with carbon blades and a 3 cel setup.
I lightened the frames and died them black (as well as other parts), added a ccpm conversion, futaba 3107's all around, zoom heading hold gyros, thunder power generation 2 lipos, swash glued in, double bearings in blade grips and better dampening, the hughes has all ball links on servos, still have some z bends on the stretch. pfd racing bec in all 3 helis. the hughes has an align controller and 2500 kv brushless motor with heatsink and 4 cel 1320 mah lipos. the other t rex has a castle 25 amp controller and 4200 kv motor with a 3 cel 2100 mah.
these things fly like champs and I am totally addicted to electric flight now since I had these. supoer durable and cheap parts, fly good. all good things.
the last electric I am just getting finished is an Ikarus Eco 8. it is pretty close in size to PoCoMo's JR Voyager E. I made the frames myself and this made things much better. mega 22/20/4 motor, jeti opto 40 amp controller, futaba 401 gyro, either a hitec 81 for tail or I will use the full size 9253 digital (balance depending). for collective I have hitec 85 mg and just waiting for an autorotation gear, pinions, ccpm servo mounts and a boom mount for my servo. I am making the boom supports out of a couple old carbon arrow shafts. I like making my own stuff
