I read that stainless steel is insufficiently magnetic to work efficiently. You can test it yourself with a magnet; stainless really doesn't "stick" like normal steel or iron. That said, hysteresis loss is more important than magnetic attraction so there's only one way to find out. I guess you'll find out when it's fitted.

I'd be too scared to get one of those hecopliters.
Even though it looks really cool, and is probably really really good fun. I'd probably crash it within a couple of minutes and break it!

Put a compact camera in the fuselage, turn on whisper mode, take photos of neighbours and blackmail accordingly. Well if you aren't into blackmail you could always sell aerial shots of local houses.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I was convinced as soon as I heard the word "crash" but your points are also good ones.

The helicopter looks like a really cool big boys toy. Do you enter competitions or anything?

Or you could get an Airwolf bodykit.

Hi, most body kits are only really for electric helicopters, you can get them for nitro but they do not look so good with smoke belching out. I have a hughes body on my little 450. And I am thinking of getting a body for my 500, would love a sea king
