E-Flite 400 3D

[pxr5]

I'm amazed that anyone can see what the heli's doing on that tiny video, let alone base judgement on it. I've watched the larger (broadband version) and it's all much less jerky. Admittedly it's a wee bit noisy at the end of the vid but that's ok - my Sceadu .50 makes a lovely racket (even with a Zimmerman muffler).

Again, I'm wary of critisism (?sp) based on a grainy 30 second video, E-Flite have a cracking repuatation and I'd be amazed to see them risk it all on what could be their best selling model on the run up to xmas. Sign me up please!

that racket does sound like nitro but sounding pretty rough to me for an EP, could this be the worst ever rtf with the best ever radio i wonder. it sounds like the motor isnt catching the main gear properly.

im gonna wait until i hear some feedback first, and for those free crash packs and batteries thrown in to boost sales later, already one dealer online has just added a free crash pack yesterday.

pxr5, it's a good point. At the very outset the major point for me was, as it is now, spares pricing. So after a wee bit of digging I've found the t-rex 450 se v2 in HK with hitec 65's, a 401 and 9650 and a few other bits for £350ish and with an initial budjet (?sp) of £400 ish it'll do nicely. The spares availability and pricing is difficult to ignore. I'll post the link later (it's flyinghobby).

yea same here even with my first micro heli i made sure i could get parts fast and as close to free as possible lol
you cant go wrong with a trex from the sounds of it but for me it isn't quite as big as id like, if it was a bit bigger id easily go for it, i just prefer the idea of a large heli and just a cheap 450 for messing around with, so as long as this blade 400 is as good as its predecessors and the radio can handle bigger hei's and planes then i cant go wrong with this offer, its tailor made for my experience and requirements.
