the bigger they are the harder they fall so if you buy a big helicopter it will crash harder

I am a novice, but I do recommend this heli, very easy to fly. I did go out on utube and made some changes they recommended to the tail rotor, better battery, lighter balance bar. I reversed the rotors to give more clearance but stripped out the screws and had problems after that. Very durable and fun to fly.

I can't speak for the Yorkville -- but I know the P1800sx is a product a lot of people have been impressed with. It is fairly new so the "secret hasn't gotten out yet", so to speak -- but as far as I know this is an excellent sub for the money you are paying.Please let me know if you have any other questions,My very best,JenniferMillennium Worldwide

As of right now I'm using the stock radio and it works well. I do have a nice Sony I've been thinking about mounting and if you look around you can find an adapter so you can still control the radio from the handlebar. I would suggest also getting the small tweeters from Hogtunes that mount around the Road Glide gauges.

The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl . So if you bought a velineon system as a upgrade , you have spent more money than if you would have just bought the vxl to start with . I personally would recommend looking into castle creations brushless system instead . Its almost 100 dollars cheaper and you can get a few different power opinions. I up graded my daughters 4x4 stampede to a 3900kv and its geared for bashing . That system pushes it easily to the 45 mph on a 2s 5000mah 20c battery . The 3350 velineon system will push close to 40 mph on the same battery! I hope this helps you out ! The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl .

Jay I have 4 of these Might Mules for several years now. I am going to give you my answer that worked after I vent. Mighty Mule has an advantage because of market share -- the clicker, parts, batteries, etc. all at Home Depot, Tractor Supply, etc. And they have been reasonably reliable. I can see from the DVR and magazine size instruction booklet that they have had customers provide feedback that the user interface is not "5 star". At least it is not for me. I think I finally assumed in the black and white documentation that black meant black and white meant red and put the black into the insert toward the top and red (or positive if using different color wire) is beneath it. I think I reversed it once and the good thing is it just blows the fuse which is easy to change. Another good thing is you have the 500 which is way easier to deal with than the 350 by far. I have two other things to add. When the thing starts beeping at some point (and it will) the first guess is always the battery, they go out between 1-2 years. Sometimes it will jam and it will be necessary to unhook the arm and manually screw it in a few rounds or so to get it unjammed then hold the close set button down to clear then reset the closed position. Reading the beep sequence guide in the manual was, for me, interesting. I hope Mighty Mule has a social media group that reads these posts and will see I am not flaming them. If I bought a 5th unit it would be a Mighty Mule. BUT, I would pay them $100 to get a "500 Plus" for which there was an LED read out of status, well marked and easier interfaces. I have to pull out the manual every time one of my 4 goes on the blink. Come on Mighty Mule ... congrats on achieving market share dominance now fortify it by improving user interface. Hire someone from Apple engineering to oversee moving to a more fool proof (I am the fool here, not Jay) interface.

The model I have is the PL-310 ET. I did not know there was an earlier model.

i have and arabian too and if you asking if the horse size will fit her? get it instead of pony because you can get a hole puncher and make it as small as you want..

What about the ES8228S? Is this one an improvement on the 8168? Other than some ebay listings, I haven't found much info anywhere.

Sorry, but I do not know of any version Just the model number -- The Tescun PL880. I am very satisfied with it, especially when I put a 100' wire on it. SW & FM are great, but AM in this area is very noisy, and only the local stations can be heard. Good luck, tony W8KQM@AOL.COM

I'll put it this way. I already own one. I'm purchasing another just because of the kick ass price. crashed it 100x and never broke anything. just remember to power down in case of imminent doom and u should break anything. of course the surface you are "landing" on has alot to do with its durability and mostly i fly over grass. also if you look at the parts, they are all seperate and easy to replace and pretty damn cheap. I had to send mine to helimax right out of the box. the T.A.G.S. was malfunctioning and the transmitter wouldn't always go all the way down on the throttle (bad pot?). anyways they sent me a ups label and had it back to me in no time. I complained that it was my first helimax product and i was disappointed because the heli and the transmitter both were defective but they insisted it was a fluke and upgraded my swash to compensate me for my lost time. that was enough to get my business over and over. They did not question if i had crashed the chopper or not. they took my word for it.

The only type of an upgrade that would be available for these Apache 109Gs would be a 200mah battery, or it's possible that if you ordered replacement motors, you might get an upgraded version. Other than the higher capacity battery, which I recommend, I don't know of any other deliberate upgrades. It's an excellent machine, it would be very difficult to improve upon!

It seems like spare parts are much more abundant for the v911. I have already broken my fly bar and am awaiting a replacement from china that I bought on eBay. You may have to look on eBay for batteries as well. After just now doing a quick search, I found one (just one) for $9. Not a very good deal compared with what you can find for the v911. My f3 is a ton of fun, but I'm seriously considering a v911 at this point, for comparison purposes, as well as cheap repairs.

You have to adjust the trim on the swashplate slightly forward on 9116. On the 9100 I'm not sure how to correct the spin.

I don't know of any upgrades other than the trigger. I would also look at the newer NP-2.

Dear Richard can not help you with this question because I bought but has not reached me yet. And unfortunately there are no more suggestions for this model.
