  • Align 500 or 550 for scale models

    I am looking to step up from my apprentice blade 130X to a larger heli to build over the winter with the final goal of converting it to a Scale model later next year once I am comfortable flying a 500 sized heli. Of the two, which is most likely to provide the best scale options in terms of parts, fly ability and support ?

      Andy, what makes the 500 the heli of choice for you ?

        I haven't seen many fuse's for the 550

        There are plenty for the 500's and many are available second hand for sensible money.

        I want to get a 550 but will be leaving it as a bod and boom
