    I just took a look at the specs for the Vortex if you were thinking of that direction and it doesn't support HiTec as it would S-Bus or speccy satellites but would support the Rx methinks

      You don't have to be good to go FBL. It will benefit you at any stage of your development. You will progress quicker imo. Plus its great in the wind ... which we have a lot of

          At the risk of muddying the water, I'd consider converting the 500 to FBL. This is because the 600 is already more stable in the wind just due to its size and as you say you're not flying the 500 much, perhaps this would make it more useful.

                What Dave was saying was get everyone for your birthday to club together to the tune of what a helicommand costs then with the voucher you could buy 2 Beastx's and the heads to convert both the 500 and 600.

                Or, buy 2 Turnigy 3D-H (BeastX clones) and the heads and have change out of £200

                  Ahhh, I get it . I thought he meant to get one of the self righting things . My bad . That's a good idea the voucher thing then I can add a bit to get the better stuff

                  I'm so stupid sometimes,

                  Thanks Alex
