Ok...Im bak from holiday..I still want a heli..Is this a good deal from fast lads?

[AdzUK]

HI all..Just been on the phone to the guys @ fast lads..said i want the whole caboodle. TX, Pheonix Flight sim, and heli....

He said for £645 i can get

Trex450s
giro g190
HS65 servos
LIme 2100ma
DX6
Pheonix.......

OK seems expensive but this would be ready to fly..whats your guys opinion..And from what i have read do i need to be getting a dx7 instead for future upgrades?

thanks.
Adam.

What about charger and lipos?? if thats not on the list then thats more money you will have to pay out for

I don't know the gyro so can't rate it also what are they recommending as tail servo. you don't want to get one your gonna have to update in a few weeks.

also Im assuming the HS65's are the carbide gears not metal but its worth asking.

And personally I would go straight for the DX7

having said that Fast lads have always been good to me so its probably a reasonable price for what their specing

[AdzUK]

He said it was everything..charger ect ect...I just get realy confused as the only real worry is i dont have any experience with these things..if i did i would go for this http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp...0000DX7...same price ish as the 450 but its a bigger heli and comes with a dx7 thing is i would not know were to start when building it..would you guys recomend starting with fastlads...also can you give me some questions to ask about the parts so i can reley them to you guys..thanks for your time

[Sesame]

http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=360000DX7 this is something that realy intarests me...

[robgt]

Upgrade the gyro - I'm sure the GY190 is not a heading hold gyro...

GY401 is what you really want.
Cheers,

This doesnt look a bad deal from Fast lads.

http://fast-lad.co.uk/store/product_...roducts_id=988

Trex 450SE Kit (Silver Carbon Version)
2170 Mah Flight Power evo 20 3S1P Lipo
325mm V-Blade main blades
3 X Hitec HS65 Servo's
Futaba GY401 Gyro
Futaba S9650 Tail Servo

to this you would have to add the DX7 and reciever plus a charger and maybe another battery.

but its a nice bundle that wouldnt need upgrading.

edit: I just realised it doesn't say its the V2. version of the 450 you would need to confirm that or not

[nightstalker]

Take alook at these guys http://www.rc-expert.com/ , they have some awsome deals and there very quick getting items to you.
I bought my Trex off them (xl) complete een with charger and 2 lipos and all the upgrades for £200

[ChrisB]

Not a brilliant price,,the gyro is basic and the DX6 is a waste of money

I got a 450S for the other half all kitted out from Hong Kong with basic gear admittedly for £175 ready to fly minus TX,,coulda had a DX7 included for an extra £100 quid

[rombonie]

I got the 450 se v2 kit from midland helicopeters plus a gy401(the one to have) with a for the tail 3154 and 3xHS65's for £465.

Got the charger and Revo lipo's for aurorra and the DX7(been to one to go for over the dx6) without servo's for £140 used but nearly new.

Total spend £719

Thre is not alot to building the se kit really and it will help you understand the setup side of your heli.

Theres always the forums when you get stuck, there never short on answers

cheers Dor

Being that flying-hobby.com are not in the uk will the radio gear be in 35mhz??

[AdzUK]

ah..does it have to be 2.4 or something? what problem would that be?

[nightstalker]

well if its 2.4g that's good, but the RX that comes with it ant a 2.4g one.
so its more finding out to make sure you get a 35mhz set not a 72mhz set as that will be illegal to you in the uk
