What should i get

[Streetluge Chris]

Birthday is coming up in a bit and just waiting for the wife what you would like for birthday.I have 450 and Raptor 30 but have been thinking of MSR or 500 clone.
The 500 would be slow build but msr would be buy and fly not sure which way to go,one thing with msr we have big warehouse at work to fly in.
which way should i go.

Depends if you want something for the winter indoors or you want something for outside in the summer?

[cupracing]

Neither, a trex 250

[tiddler]

mSR's are great little helis, but with summer coming up your going to want to be flying outside. Get the 500

[joe.lel]

I have a 450 and a raptor 30 also. My next heli is going to be a 500.

Easier to see than the 450 and less restrictions than the nitro.

(My club only allows nitro until 7pm)

Mate, why don't you look for an already built 500 airframe (from somebody reliable - say from this forum itself/BMFA). Get your self some spanking new electronics for it. Double check all the screws and bolts (threadlock 'em if you have to again - shouldn't take much of your time!). Get it setup and get out there and fly the bugger! That should help you to keep costs relatively down as well. Sounds rational, doesn't it?

[Mark_T]

Sounds like you already have what you need for flying outside, but you don't have anything to fly in that tempting warehouse.

MSR would be ideal in there for sure and it gets you some flying time when you wouldn't otherwise be able to fly.

Getting the 500 just gives you a different heli to fly not extra stick time.

Hmm did not think of the 250 I suppose this falls in between msr and 450 I have never tried a 250 or the MSR so it hard to compare.
Properly write about the out door stuff as I have Raptor 30 and 450 copterx love the 450 at the mo.
How does the MSR fly compared to 250 or 450 I mean stick inputs etc does it fly same as a 250 say.
MSR will bind straight to DX7 ?

Streetluge chris,

Seriously mate just buy a 500....

I own a trex 500 aswell as a hk500gt....which i maidened last night.....And to be honest there is much of a difference if any.

Dont buy a 250 i have been down that track had 3 unless you intended on taking some incredible potion to shrink your fingers....!!

Just go for a clone 500..
If you want to keep costs down...

anyway my 2p worth...

Another vote for the 250 from me as well, love the little beggar, very stable and fun to fly, I dumb thumbed mine last night and it had no damage at all, didn't even pop a link, it is certainly tougher than it looks

[Streetluge Chris]

It was the hk500gt I was thinking of getting there a new carbon one coming out very soon


Its bound to be a bargin

[Streetluge Chris]

Not much going for the MSR so far!

[heliboy]

I had an MSR...sold it this week....summers coming in....Next year there will be something new for inside...

Do the 500 you will love it!
