Extreme skids for HBFP

Just installed a set of Extreme skids on my HBFP last night

So far I like them. I removed the Superskids and put them on my Belt CP as I had damaged the SS on it.
With the Extreme skids the heli seems to have a bit more pep as I'm sure they are lighter than the SS. I kept the vert and horiz stabilizer fins from the SS but removed the batt holder and the tail supports. The Extreme skids do not have a batt holder, so I just added velcro to the inside bottom of my canopy and just tuck the batt in there. Works like a charm, and now I don't have to remove the canopy to install or remove the batt.
I like the look of the Super Skids better, but the heli flys just as good, if not a bit better with the Extreme skids. Also the Extreme skids give it a pretty neat and different look.

I've flown 2 packs thru with these skids, and so far so good.

I'll keep you all posted.

i figured it out know what it was i followed the direction exactly with out really looking at the install as i went along and they made a mistake on the instruction i had to reverse the back mount so it wouldn't rub on this little part that was sticking out
