Going to sell the stock ESC, DS620 tail servo, and 3G unit. BeastX is already on it's way, BLS-251 on the tail, and more than likely get the Castle ICE 100 and BEC Pro. How is the setup of the Castle governor? I've only set up a governor on the 80A MSH ESC and a Kontronik.
@cannondalefl If you have the Castle USB link it's a piece of cake. Tell it the motor pole count, number of cells, and gearing. Then you put the desired rpm in the boxes (3 settings) and set 3 flatline throttle curves in the radio for each. Done. :)
Bought a NIB kit on RCG Classifieds after hearing you talk about it on Inside Heli. Was going to buy a Chaos 600 from RC Aerodyne, but after pricing everything out, the 550E was cheaper (due to the classified ad) and not that much smller in size. Do you know what pinion your buddy was using to get the 2300 HS, stock pinion?
@cannondalefl Nice! You will love it. :) He's using the 17T pinion, it seems to work really well with the Castle ICE 100 governor setup. Pack is a 6S 5000 30c Turnigy.
@ChrisKTMKurtz Thanks! Yes, the weather is beautiful but we're going to pay for it later this summer I'm sure... 80's in Feb? Yikes, gonna be a hot one. :(
JPC, thanks again for being such an "Enabler".

@PC9JEFF Thanks man! The 550 just felt so natural to me I couldn't resist doing a bit of hot-dogging, despite it being only the 2nd flight. :)

Check out my new vid of my Swift 16 flight, I also posted it on your thread on RCGroups.
