Re: Hummingbird upgrade parts

Hi,

Everything that I have learnt about the V3 shows that it is a steady heli straight out of the box.
If you are going to upgrade it however then the things to go fo first would be the head components the swashplate and like. This has the same affect in most helis that are plastic, It will make the head response more true and accurate to your inputs makeing it easier to fly. This will also make it more cappable.

You should think about the gyro that is on the bird and wether you can better it. If this can be done without great problems then it is always good to improve the gyro.

If your really Keen to jump into stunt flight, Or you really want to see an improvement in the speed of response then you simply introduce lighter paddles and stiffer blades. This will really jump the heli's performance.

Hope some of this helps you plan what it is you want to do.
