CX Mods allow better outside flight

I have had very good luck flying outside in up to about 8-9 MPH. Only flying straight line forward and back, and keeping stable is a chore, but it can be done. First, replace everything you can with aluminum, swash plate, rotor hubs, bearing housing. Next, replace stock flybar with short carbon fiber flybar with adjustable weights. After that, replace inner shaft with aftermarket 5 mm extension shaft for better blade seperation. Then, on the cylic servo arms, move the connecting link from the first hole closest to the hub to the furthest outside hole. It will require a bit of test and adjust on the linkage adjustments to get the swash plate level wth cyclic and trim centered and battery connected (BE CAREFUL). You will need to re-learn how to fly because it becomes very, very responsive. Indoors, it becomes insanely fun. I finally have mine trimmed for stable hover in this configuration and it is a blast.
