500 or 600 Heli

[Fewrious]

Hi all I need abit of help, got a 450 sport but looking at moving up in size but to a budget, I've been looking at the hk-500 gt and the hk-600 gt also the skya 500, has anybody had any dealings with any of these, would like to stay with align heli but like I said I need to keep to a budget.
Any help will be very helpful

if keeping to a tight budget go with the 500hk and keeping to smaller battery packs too.

Telling us your budget may help. There is a few good deals on 2nd hand aligns just now so you might be able to snatch yourself a bargain

The options, as far as I see it, are HK, Tarot, CopterX, Skya, Flasher or 2nd hand Align.
any others?

I agree if whilst ordering your heli i assume from HobbyKing you may want to consider batteries & charger at same time as they would also be cheaper & saving you on post.

I have the silver frame Align Trex 500 and it cost me about £400.00 by the time I got it all fitted with electrics and a couple Lipos. Since then I have seen better deals on 2nd hand Aligns as BNF or close. With mine I also wanted to keep to a budget because I was unsure how I would like it (I loved it imediately). So I started mine buying just a bare airframe 2nd hand and then slowly outfitting it with electrics as I acquired them.

To be honest I only want to spend a few hundred as I'm in the middle of building a quadcopter and with being a newbie to this I've been trying to build my fleet, I've heard bigger is better, I wish I could spend a bit more but the wife might divorce me with what I've spent already.So I really need to keep cost down.
