  • Which 50?

    Currently off work at the moment and for something to do
    thought I'd bling up my Titan, but after seeing it was going to cost around £300
    Thought I just as well get a new heli

    Now the problem, which one and type,,,

    Thinking of a 600, but would like something a bit different
    any thoughts??

    (I'm not into stick banging) well not on a TX anyway

    If you want smooth and precision my advice is Vibe 50

    Got 2 here and they fly so smooth and track so well. They just do exactly what you tell them to do... Down side....

    beware of the parts pricing at the moment

              Funny, I was looking at the Vibe, just not happy with well,,the look,
              I know thats not everthing but I do like to enjoy what I'm looking at.
              Thats the reason i never bought a Knight,, no matter how hard I tried I just could'nt bring myself to like it,,
              As for the 600, love my 500 but the bolts etc made of cheese

              So still thinking really

                The protos is a good machine

                      Having now built both, the Knight bolts are even worse then the Align ones, and the 3D version which comes part assembled has so much thread-lock on everything, it's a real tough and laborious job to take it apart when you need to.

                      You might also consider the Pantera 50 for £120ish including wooden blades or an RJX Extreme 50 for around the same money as Vibe 50 at the other end of the price range.

                      To be fair tho, the TRex 600 is the most commonly available for both kit and spares and has the most user-support out here in forum-world, and does what it does extremely well for what it costs.

                            LOL to the above

                            Thanks for the input chaps,, guess its all down to personal choice at the end of the day,
                            Looks like I'm heading towards a 600 though,
                            My 500 needs a big brother, think I'll go nitro, lots of options that way,
                            If it flys as well as the 5 I will be happy
                            I'll be onto Bob at skyline shortly

                            Cheers
