    Default beasty beam

    i finally got the beam up the club this evening, perfect weather wise, just a slight breeze

    couple flights with the 450 pro first, then 2 on the beam. the light was fading fast so didnt want to chance any more, an packed away, plus my missus was waiting to go see her friends horse

    i got to say im well impressed with this heli, it flies really nice, straight as an arrow in circuits, looking forward to getting some more flights at the weekend with it as i havent flown for the last couple weeks.

    i think the 450 pro has just been demoted ha ha

    cheers then

    I have been curious how the Beam compares to the Pro in flight. I had (well still have) a Trex450SE before getting the Beam and
    the difference is huge! I am very pleased with how well the Beam flies for its size.

    i should say that mine is a copterx 450 pro but dont think theres much difference between align an copterx, others might argue it,

    the beam really does fly straighter, ma88ut will back me up
