      I had one 80A YEP on a 500MX fail, for no reason, in flight, but I still like them. Replaced it with a 100A YEP and no more problems, so far. I really like the new 90A and 120A LV versions, with the switchable 12A BEC.

      Nice heli, Dude. :)

      Four of the guys I fly with use YEPs. There was a fifth but he had a failure and swore never again.

      Ok, So still not finished..... But here it is so far. I have to re-mount the gyro correct as it's slightly off and tidy up antenna wires, I will feed them thru clear tube the same as is
      used on rc cars for the antenna. One will run straight and one will angle down. then a bit of hot glue on the servo plugs going into the cgy750 unit.

      That's wickid man all that exposed wiring looks like it's been done by a professional. All the other wiring for the servos and other stuff you better check it's there can't see any well done mate very nice.

      Mate, those electronics look like they grew there, super neat. I'll drop 1/2 a dozen helis of at your place for you to re-wire for me.
      Thanks in advance....Simon

      Ok Maiden went well, no issues.. I really don't like the so called soft start on the yep 120, tends to kick the tail to the right kinda slowly, on a slow spool up.. Apart from that everything felt good, need to up the gains a bit , that's about it.. headspeed was medium for the maiden.. So all's well..

      Yep I was a witness and it went well. It flew rock solid, even in the typhoon we are currently having.

      Just did an upright and inverted hover and a few simple 8's, Feels like the 700's are very stable to fly.. I thought i would be a bit nervous , but i was not at all, did not even feel threatened in any way.

      It's funny dude, i felt a bit nervous, but once it spooled up, All that went away, I could have fallen asleep i felt that relaxed, lol... Don't know if that's a good thing or not.. then again it was a low head speed, maybe only 1800.. so we will see..
