| Nope.. Nolan didn't put me up to it. I got about 2 minutes of flying on the Avant and I was smiling like a kid in a candy store the entire time. It's that good. Hovers like a Hirobo does (ie contest quality) and the machine is so fast it's ridiculous. I'm flying a Tempury right now that I put about a 5 gallons through every week. It's tuned well and it doesn't fly like Nolan's Avant did. Nolan had a YS in it that had less of a gallon through it so it was still pig rich. I couldn't give it a proper flogging. The little that I did though was impressive to say the least. Rolls and tumbles are within the helis own space. The collective responsive is just crazy... I keep saying that and you hear other pilots say it, but until you fly one you'll never appreciate what I'm talking about. It doesn't hesitate in the least to change directions. It's going to be a good one. I've already got a C-Spec, with a "special carb", and a tuned pipe waiting for mine. I won a Fremeco, 4800 mah li-ion pack and one of their dual voltage regulators, so I'll probably install those. Even at 6 oz it's lighter than the lead pack ni-cad that Nolan was running. Stratus who?
