New helicopters from Centuryheli: Radikal E640 and N640 «

had a radikal once, never own a century model ever again. how ever good it was or believed to be.

because hardly anyone makes 640mm blades, rotortech do will £100 +

Hey.

As a former Century/CenturyUK sponsored pilot I welcome these new models to the market.
They look to be a fresh new platform for the company to move forward with as they seemed to get left behind for a few years.

It will be interesting to see them in the flesh.
I flew with them for nearly 10 years and wish them well with their new models.
.

I my experience, century get a lot of people into the hobby at the low end of the market. but a lot of them fade away before they get started,I found by spending a little more money on a better quality machine progressed me better rather than getting frustrated and giving up. But I can see where your coming from coolice

It seems to have taken off very well here in North America. Here is an interesting thread about it in another NA based forum.

I see you fly a Synergy & Logos. I also had a Synergy and a Predator 90 at the same time, a few years ago, and found it had a lot of teething problems while my Predator did not. I sold the Synergy but still have my Predator. It now has over 300 flights and never an issue.

I also had a Logo 20 and did not like it, finding it left a lot to be desired compared to others I had.

Would I go into any forum and call Synergy or Logo a pile o' shit. No, as I know that others have liked them as much as I like my Predator and other Century helis I have.

From what I see with these new FBL versions of the E640 and N640's. It looks like they can compete with your Logos. But only time will tell. And if they prove to be so, then it would seem your remarks would certainly be from some sort of bias. Could that be a bias against issues with Century UK or with the original Century manufacturer in the USA.

lol, i had a century heli about 3 years ago and it was a pile of shit, awful and IS the worst heli i ever owned, and speaking to others who have owned them completely agree, but make no mistake the above heli's shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as mikado or Synergy.
