    TDR for me, does everything well. E700 probably a good choice as well, it's the best 'cheap ish' 700 you can buy.

      TT E720

      I would quite happily never fly anything else. If only it were not being discontinued….. although, to be fair, spares were difficult to come by even when it was in full production lol

      Im hoping a G5 is in the works … but it will still suffer from lack of spares lol

        close one between my 550 or my 600n, 550 my favourite but the 600n only needs to have 1 battery charged then i can get down the field and fly, where as the 550 charging takes a long time for all my battertie, so i will sell all my helicopters and get a better charging system and generator and keep the 550

          I'd definetly keep the Trex 550 DFC and get rid of the Goblin 500. Far cheaperto fix when I crash.

            It would have to be my 550L Dominator. It only needs a single 6S pack and is cheaper to repair than the 700E DFC.

              For me it would have to be my Rave Ballistic 700. Absolutely awesome heli it has such a big presence in the air and is just so stable. Areal joy to fly and it just gets better and better. This is a keeper !!

                A swathe of 550's then! Very interesting how some of you would prefer to only have a 700 size. I love my 700e, it just does everything better than all my other helis as well as being a fair bit smoother and faster in the wind.

                  My logo 480 is my go to heli at the moment. Although i reckon my warp 360 gets flown the most and i'm pretty happy flying it in pretty strong winds. Although i suspect the wind dictates where it goes as much as i do.

                  My logo 600 hasnt been flown in over a year simply because i never get the chance to go somewhere with the space i would need.

                  Interestingly i am currently looking for a 500-570mm blade heli to run on 6s, so after reading this maybe the 550l dominator is the way to go. Had been looking at the goblin 500-570, but either they are too expensive or they are cheap but the spec means i would spend as much again getting it to what i want.

                    I'd say the one you fly the most!

                      For me ,its the Goblin 500- single pack, handles the breeze well easy and flies like its on rails- actually prefer it more than the 570 !

                          The problem with the limitation of only being allowed one is that if it's something where spares may take time to get you could potentially be grounded for a while vs something with really high spares availability.

                          The answer would be easier if another backup heli was allowed.

                            You right 2 weeks is a long time on my shelf and prob choose a new hobby if I could only have 1 as I'd be changing daily!

                            Tbh anything recent with good gear 90 size or bigger without a belt drive. Today I would say my Nitro TT 820 as nothing else close in its class and its simply fantastic to fly.

                              I know it's a bit OT but I really like that canopy Garry, looks tops with the matching bits on the boom!

                              I'd have a real hard time deciding between my 600 EFL pro and 700E DFC, both superb, strangely I find the smaller better in the wind but the 700 has real presence and power. I'd have to toss a coin............
                              I just have and the genuine coin toss result would be the 700E

                                I just have my 750mx 600 pro, well 2 but one needs a head I think its great it could just do with a better servo on the tail.

                                I sold the rest off and kept it as it's all I was flying lol.
