Heard it was more hype than what it really is. Good luck.

You should Buy my Jr Forza 450
I have it for sale as a ARF kit all you need is a Micro Ikon to have it back in the air

Yep.. Won't see my bud till Sunday tho.... Got the VBar in today w PRO firmware... I have a few spare MKS92a+ servos for the cyclic... Think I'll pull the MKS 95i off the 450 for the Chase & put the stock Align servo back on the 450. Up in the air on the ESC.. I could pull the Edge50 off the 450 & put the stock Align back on it.. Or I could just grab a Edge50 Lite for the Chase... Need to make up my mind on that one.. I'm not the kinda guy who just swaps stuff all over the place all the time.. Once I build it... That's how it will stay barring damaged equipment... I take my time on the build and just maintain.. Usually.. Lol.. Yep, that's it. Already has the 6s KDE motor, 1750kv G2.. If I get a new ESC I'll have a little over $200 in it.. Plus blades... Should be fun.. Kinda wore the 450 out.. 3yrs of the beat down will do it on a little bird. Lol been wanting to try a 6s 450 class heli.. The only ones I like are the Chase & the Goblin(which is way too damn expensive for a 450).. Excited.

Bad thing about the Mini Vbar is the power bus in side it is not very good . Hv servos seem to cause them to brown out . so Keep a eye on it

There is a way to rewire your servos so that the bus dies not even get phased.

Yep you have to run a stand alone power bus to feed the servos then signal wire to the v bar . Its a real pain on the smaller Helis

Nope, I got the VBar in the mail yesterday.. Looks good.. I haven't seen Levar yet to get the Chase.. No hurry really.. Gotta wait till next payday to scoop a Edge 50 Lite.. Gonna keep the one I have on the 450. But we are gonna try to fly tomorrow... But that may fall apart.. Got reminded of our annual tree decorating at a friends house.. Since we were in high school, My buddy Ben's parents have a big dinner/tree decorating party.. We watch "Christmas Vaction" the entire time too.. Fun times! A group of us still attend every year.. Kinda of a tradition I suppose. Anyhow, got that & I have to get my son back to college too.. So it's 1.5hrs from my house in one direction to the college.. Then another 45min in the other direction to the party.. Totaling 4.5hrs of drive time (add an hour for the bs).. So yeah doubt I get to meet up & fly as i had hoped.
