Blade Helicopters - What happend or am I stupid?

[bill rob]

At the moment we can buy a 180 cfx or a 450 kit for the cost of a demon or v bar,,don't know whats going to change there,,but maybe when sales drop fbl units will get cheaper,they will have to just to compete.

Usually things get cheaper when they become superseded by something better with more features. A Spartan ds760 tail gyro used to cost £150 but now you can buy a Vortex VX1e FBL unit for 2/3 of that price. I don't know if FBL units can get much better in the way they fly but I think they can pack more features in, like multi rotor and fixed wing support. Perhaps built in Bluetooth, GPS, bailout and return to home.

Which is just as bad in my book!

Well, yes..!

But I don't think it's an issue with small (<425mm blade) helis with stiff dampers and reasonably high head speeds.

This is what had put me off; but it seems fine on T-Rex 500s.

i think they should all concentrate on bailout
that would make buying much more apealling to a lot of peeps
