wat kind of blades do you want/ you can get carbon, fiberglass, or tuning which are like te stock ones only with big bulbs on the tips...cutting blades is extremely helpful...my heli is way more responsive with cut blades.

I like the HH, it's not perfect but can help give you one less thing to worry about, especially while learning...

I would invest the money in something else (Chris Rigoleths AR and swash mod for example) - the HH module is a waste of time

In my experience, the HH module does nothing at all if you're only hovering, and can actually be detrimental. I had one on my Orion + cut blades and whenever the battery pack started getting flat the tail would go wild and completely out of control. I removed the HH (well, actually I snapped it off by accident [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ) and now the tail just slowly loses authority and I can land safely. I've noticed no other changes. On the other hand, some people swear by it.

I'm told HH makes more difference if you're into forward flight, but I haven't got that far yet... I have a HH module for sale if anybody's interested.
