So does anyone have anything good to say about the Spirit?? I am getting one used and was wondering if there was anything special I should know??

They can take a little beating. This was my first quad, and I have so much of a blast flying it. I am not sure if I will fly a two string for a while. The one thing I have a question about the Spirit is how are people keeping the standoff connectors in one spot? No matter how tight I wrap the rubber bands, the standoffs get pushed up. One of my standoff connectors has broke because of this.

I am surprised no one replied to your question before now!!
And you probably figured it out also.
This problem should be solved by wraping the rubber band over the
standoff fitting, around the spreader and the upright spar, twice if poss-
ible to take out all slack and then over the s.o. fitting again.
I position the s.o. fitting below the spreader.
This way It can not slide either way.
