Thanks for the info. I have great experience cra****ng my blade. I kind of
have become a Blade Mechanic, having changed almost everything on it at
least once. I was looking into the E-Sky beacuase of its cheaper cost,
maybe I would have something to crash while I'm waiting on parts for the
other. From the link that you sent, it seems to me that they are just
about
equal in function, and from looking at various sites and e-bay, quality as
well.
Anyway, thanks for the reply and the link you sent.
