I'll reread the info and report back.My Understanding the new unit will do a lot more then the first gen. They call it full spectrum. Link to a case study on a Kit Fox, http://www.rpxtech.com/documents/Rot...0Study%201.pdf and http://www.rpxtech.com/DynaVibeGX2.html

Default Changing horses mid stream

Well...it could have been worse. The Op didn't flush the case before assembly and has one miss matched wrist pin, not technicality correct but its done,installed with baffling,and flying. Changing the filter and cleaning the intake screen every 10 hours is a lot less expensive then taking it all apart to correct issues that may not exist(if it ain't broke,don't fix it!). Everybody should have there prop balanced at least once.It's proven time and again to be beneficial in every case. In this case it could demonstrate the need for action or confirm none is needed. Sorry for the drift,but still on point.
