Now that you've upgraded ALVIN, here's a video you can see the blade 400 right after a customer bought one.
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1075581/video/R/CFD_1002/ I'm no expert on electric helis, and only owned a Blade CP for a couple of weeks, but IF I had to get an electric one I would get that new E-SKY Belt-CP.
A new guy showed up with it at the field three weeks ago. It literally "flew out of the" box after plugging up the battery. After minor trim adjustments I hovered it and briefly flew it around. It felt very stable. Most of its parts are interchangeable with the Align T-REX 450 heli. I was impressed!
The kit comes complete with the helicopter body, a brushless 3,500 kv OutRunner motor plus a heat sink, four servos, and a EK2-0704 Gyro. Some shops sell it for about $200 including receiver and transmitter! :thumbup:
