Hi everyone,I liked the Walkera 5#6 but I have flown it so much that I have worn out one of the motors, my friend got one at the same time but he hasnt flown his as much as I did. I found that it tended to fall into its own rotor wash if turned too fast when moving forward, resulting in 'plumetting', being small,it nearly always survived undamaged. I prefer the accuracy of control that the bigger 5#8 provides,mine is still flying well. My friend got one of these as well. We ordered them direct from china,and even with import duty( which Customs and Excise billed us for a week later) it was still cheaper than ordering it from anywhere in Europe. We got a deal which included an extra 1000 mah pack (14 minutes flight time) a jetranger bodyshell,a Ka 50 gunship bodyshell ,spare blades and a simulator cable and disc. The 5#8 is a 5#4 with metal upgrade parts. It was listed on ebay as a Walkera dragonfly 5v8 and was from RC Machine. I still like the 5#6 but it is a lot more difficult to fly accurately,we had competitions to fly from one coffee jar lid to another. Harder than it sounds! We ditched the standard canopy with it's poor stickers and made our own from blue foam,painted with enamel, looks much better. I am thinking of putting the radio gear into a small plane(if I can unplug the micro sockets from the reciever without ripping the wires out!) I may even send away for a new motor but finances are tight and I like experimenting anyway. Andy M
