Need a bit of info

My Cousins father-in-law has a medvac and wants to upgrade to something a bit more powerful, he has budget of around £350 at a push.

He was going to buy a Mini Pred, but he's asked me what do I think, so in turn I said I know a place where I can get the best advice available with a limited budget.

He can't afford to go higher due to personal circumstances, and after having a talk with me he's even more confused now.

And being a part of the (long distance) fam' I don't want to end up with egg on my face.

Any ideas chaps, I know the offering is very limited at this price and theres some non friendly helis lurking in this area, but what can I tell him which would be the best heli for his purse strings.

I never knew he had a heli until my cous' mentioned I had a Blade thingy, so as you can understand I'm treading on egg shells with what I'd recommend.

imo there isnt anything between a blade CX2 and a trex 450 se V2 thats worth having.

anything in between is gonna cost you in time, effort and heart ache in the long run.

might be worth trying to find a raptor 30 but thats gonna mean going to a club.

another option would be phoenix but im not sure if the medevac tx works with phoenix.

I guessed this may be the answer.

Medevac TX does not have a "working" trainer socket. I say "working" because there IS a blanking plate on the TX with the word "TRAINER" embossed in the plastic above it. I took the back off my TX to have a look but there are no obvious indications for a trainer tap on the circuit boards.

Thanks for that mate, so this thing is prebuilt comes with all the bells and whistles to crash straight out of the box for just over 200 notes.

Is this for real or what! just seems too good to be true, or is it a clone of sorts.

Not to sure of the Air wolf body, it always seems a little cheesy dressing up a perfectly good heli in an old 80's B-series dressing, but I quite like the landing gear

Why ever didn't Blue Thunder catch on like AW, I've actually seen that chopper at the bone yard at Disney MGM in FL, it looked a little worse for wear.lol.
