This heli munches Rotor Blades because the Blades are long and fragile, it is also more affected by breeze because of its large body size. But, they still look great flying in calm conditions. I got mine without TX in July 2011 for $70 plus $20 for a charger.
I believed the manufacturer on "even a beginner can fly it!" on this. Needless to say, I'm waiting on my replacement blades at the moment. In the meantime I've gotten some time in with RC Microchoppers to get used to the whole orientation business. Despite all of this, I love my Chinook. :)
The precision of the controls is much better on the 38#, but because of the size/weight, you need more space. I wouldn't start with the 38#, instead I would first buy some cheap and smaller coax heli. And then get used to the controls of that!
It's harder to fly than a normal coax-heli. You also need more space and it still should be pretty calm. Always land on a flat surface. You might need to trim front/back power. There is an extra knob for that on the heli.
Because of it's weight it is more stable than a Lama, also easier to fly at a distance because of the size. 200gr is a lot, but it seems to have quite a few reserves, so I think it's possible. I'm going to attach a FlyCamOne, which is only 50gr or so.
I don't think you can - that's just how this specific design works... You could adjust the extend of the servo, but having to coax just makes it quite stable and slow!

is it more stable of a normal coax like LamaV4? do you think it can lift 200grams extra payload and still flying good?
Thanks
