| Well, even though I knew better, I checked out the only two LHS within probably 50 miles today. Seems both of them carry nothing but E-Flight Blade models. $150-200 for a coax, are you freaking kidding me!? And the parts are outrageous. Who can afford to fly them?! $450+ for a CP, I could buy 2 belt v2's with enough spare parts and batteries to keep them in the sky a long time on that kind of $$. The LHS people tell me how great Blades are and that I need to forget the cheap crap I'm working with and move up--right... Ok, so I didn't expect much going in, but they couldn't even point me to anyone flying heli's locally that I could work with; now that WAS dissapointing! Furthermore, the guy at the first shop tells me that I don't need to worry about the C rating on my LiPo's and that it's really the mah that I should be concerned with. Ok, I have only been tinkering a few weeks, but I know he's full of crap! | |

| One of my local hobby shop SNHobbies actually sells nothing but clones and the "other" brands like Art-Tech, Esky, etc. He appreciates Align's but also understands that not everyone is rich so he has lots of cheaper options. | |

| Hey Wayne, It's no wonder that so many hobby shops are going out of business. And they try to blame anything/anyone but themselves.
And you're correct, both the mAH AND the C rating matter. | |
