I also bought the HPQ1 kit at the Ontario AMA show. I replaced the receiver with an lotus t380s before it ever flew because I like my DX7se and trust it. The OEM Tx & Rx is wrapped up and sitting on the shelf..The heli has a twitch that comes and goes but so far hasn't done anything catastrophic, it just twitches. I can't tell if it's the ESC board, the flight controller, or possibly lousy bearings in the motor(s). I gave them a good Tri-Flow bath and things did get better. There is one motor that's questionable, and in these things that's all that it takes. Has anyone replaced these bearings? If so, what are they? I think the design of the motor is interesting, but don't like that it's a one-off. There was also a period where the controller would send out a lost signal beep. It never caused a problem and has since gone away.So I think the walkera helis is there to fulfill a specific segment of the market. It may very well land up in toy department stores which means more can get to enjoy helicopters as a hobby. It served well to train my handling of CP where my Solo Pro100D failed miserably with its twitchy controls and confusing transmitter settings. Not to mention instruction guides out there don't really teach you how to fly a CP properly. So as a trainer for CP, the v922 is very friendly without confusing a beginner with all the throttle and pitch settings. At least for me, I understand how a CP work and fly better after flying the v922.The props do need balancing out of the box (as does 90% of the plastic props), and that helps stabilize flight as well. I bought the 3 blade props from HK, but haven't tried them yet; I'll now have a chance.. I understand the marvels of having a programmable transmitter, but I guess perhaps the most important part of CP is to unlearn the way you fly a FP. That was one of the hardest challenge for me. I can fly FP in very constrained spaces and do lots of trick moves with ease, but with a CP I become like a novice again.I'll test and review this iron man if you can give a good price. Since I have a bad experience with the tarot camera mount with the clamp broke on the first unfold. It a good frame don't get me wrong it still beautiful, even better now that you start to replace the crap clamp. That is a good call. So let me know. I just need the frame no electronic. Please let me know. I'm looking at the FH800 but this could be a good try out. 200mm longer wont hurt . Since you said it full carbon you said the same thing with the FY680. Let me know it look good to me but dont know good good it perform.
