700 or 600

is there much difference in lenth and height size?

and which is the best for an intermediate

600 defo, you might find the leap to a 700 a bit intimidating
And the running costs in fuel and spares is a lot less

agreed

when you so alot less how much is a lot less?

Its the crash costs you will notice.

Have a look at spares prices on FL, mainly blades.

also a 700 will drain a can of fuel in about half the flights of a 600..

A 90 fuel usage would be near double that of a 50 size.
The spares cost say between a 600-700 i would say approx 25% more.
Blades again more expensive.
But don't underestimate how much more intimidating a 90 can be, in the air seems alot bigger than a 50.
A 50 size will do all you want it to do and then some, and with the new generation of 55/56 engines have stonking power.
I fly my 600 more than i do my 90's because it always puts a massive grin on my face, is a fun machine

ive heard bert krammer (forgive me if im mistaken) say that the 600 size is excellent but there somethings its not good at so yuo need a 700 size

[3Dheliflyer]

and someone told me that the 700 has a much bigger engine that is the real big diff.


peace out

If you fly like Bert Krammer then the 700 may offer you something a bit extra

They are 90 size engine, but the power to weight ratio is around the same at a guess.

Set manovers in comps is what the 90 size machine will always win over a 50, not that 50's can't do them, and as well, it is just the 90 size hangs in the air better.
For taking the next step, a 90 will be unessarsary in my eyes, go for the 600

if you are looking to move up from a 450 or 500 or looking for your first nitro machine then go with the 600, at first you will think this is a big machine but like anything else you will get use to it then think about a 700.

heres a 600 & 700 in Tthe picture looking front view side view and one showing the different heights.

First time I flew my 600 really freaked me out because of the size after a 450. Theyre lovely machines, you wont believe how much more stable they are than a 450. Was tempted to get a 700 instead and Im glad I went for the 600, is pricey enough crashing a 50 let alone a 90, 600 your looking at 50 quidish every time before you even look at any parts that have gone and on a 90 your looking at 70 quidish on blades before parts.

If I was to choose out of the two again.... 600, it hurts your pocket less lol.
