Very cool. It really puts it into perspective when you lower the blade with your finger.

I am gona stew on it for a day or two and see if I can come up with any good ideas on stowing the battery and RX. I would like to add a blade control as well, won't be to practical without that. I have even thought about some form of a cam on the blade to lift the blade when backing up and drop it going forward. There is absolutely no more room in the engine compartment for a third servo.

Back to making the big gear in the dragline go around. I have room for the fifth servo there, just trying to figure out how to make it work from the TX point of view.

You should look into the lipo packs for the micro helicopters. They have them from

120MAH http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-minili...-15c-1s1p.html

to

350 mah http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-minili...-15c-1s1p.html

These are real cheap so you could buy several even if you had to change them out more often. I dont think you can get more power in a smaller package.
