    Default Which one model has taught you the most?

    I am just curious, as to what single model has taught you the most since starting heli's, not the sim either, ignore that.

    I can't really say, because I am a bit of a tool, and sell them before I really fly them... lol


    so whats yours?

    My old 450SE V2, which has gone on to another new flier. I had a King 2 before that which got me hovering but the 450 taught me to grow a pair and throw it about a bit. Closely followed by the MCPX which makes the pair I grew for the 450 grow even more.

    Trex 500 plain and simple. I so never cared (well too much) if it went in as it was such a cheap heli to repair but flies so well and I almost at first enjoyed fixing them as flying them


    Probably why I have had 4, no 5 or is it 6 now of them lol

    Mine was my 450 Pro, it gave me so much confidence but what I did find was that once i had the confidence back again the 450 got relegated for my 600 so i ended up selling it. i do miss having it to fly sometimes though.

    My fury55 taught me to fly, my fusion 50 taught me to 3d, and my gasser taught me to be smooth.
    I've progressed faster with my fusion then any other heli I've owned.

    Mini protos, but I believe TDR will take its place, if it ever stops raining and blowing.

    p.s. I forgot about my 250. I basically learned how to fly on that one. Don't have it anymore tho.

    Def the 450 SE v2 then 450 pro purely cos I had crash cost fears with the bigger helis but now i dont crash frequently, my 600 is the workhorse ;-)

    I'm with Paul - after a King 2, my HK450 was a dream to fly - honest

    It's been up-graded slightly over the last three years but it's still a cheap and effective hack that I try new stuff with. It takes a bit of wind and ground and still comes back for more. Great heli a 450 - everyone should have one.

    The 500 was the one that did it for me - stability, good presence and fun without too much crash cost.
