Bill,

Sounds cool. We have had about 3 of the airhogs and found they all need pretty heavy modification to actually fly. They need to be balanced and have the tail fin enlarged by about 50% and all of the tape and weight taken off the tailboom. I also make a thin ply wooden shim for over the gear as they usually wear and disengage after about an hour of flight time. Its fun and cheap and you can fly them anywhere. Good luck with your new bird.
