| Jaime, I agree! I am one that believes that in the case of the Blade 400, alot of high paid people were instrumental in the design/development of the Blade. However, I am dissapointed in the stock OEM servos, my accident was a tip over which resulted in the main blades hitting the ground very lightly. If these were the HS-65mg, I would most likely be just replacing main blades. I think the design is good, not a TREX copy as you pointed out, but more of a Mini-Titan. I have been reluctant to replace the stock servo with other types that involves any modification, I am a stickler in trying to make what I bought (STOCK) work first, only because I have been in the hobby for 10 years, and have spent countless dollars in upgrades that weren't necessary. Yes, eventually upgrades are necessary, like the stock rudder servo and maybe the stock gyro, but not having more than a couple of minutes on the Blade, it would be unfair for me to make that determination at this time. I need to get it back up running and make a more objective determination.
I hope that Horizon takes note of what we are having the most problems with and come out with those upgrades first, metal and carbon fiber upgrades that cost money may not be what we need first, they sometimes only make things look better. |
