ooooooh bling bling.....

If you think its going to fly like a 50 , 90 , though you will be sorely dissapointed . Imho if you want something that flys like a 50 , 90 , then that is what you are going to have to buy .

100% correct.

I have a blade 130x and although its good fun its certainly no where near flying a larger model.

Stick inputs yes a good learning tool and can take endless crashes while learning, for the money they are pretty good.

Re: ooooooh bling bling.....

Hi,

Thinking about getting one of these to practice low down 3D along with obviously the help of phoenix first. Would you say this is suitable or does it not realy fly like say a 50-90?

Cheers

Sorry if i read it wrong thats just the way it looked to me . The stick inputs are the same as a bigger model but thats where the similarities end . As Tim said its good for what it is & does crash pretty well & like i said i fly mine more than any of my helis for that reason . Good luck whatever you decide .

Where did you get that canopy and where did you get that landing gear Nooby?

i got the canopy from midlands and the skids are from a trex 250

The one thing I would say about the Fusuno canopy is that it *is* tougher. As with anything therefore strains and stresses are therefore passed on elsewhere. In this case, it's the canopy pins which either break if they're plastic or bend if they're metal. The metal canopy pins tend to break the cyclic servos if they bend ...

Fitted a new xtreme carbon fibre frame and auto rotation gear also.....

Looks like you have to keep on top of these little buggers quite abit and feed them tail gears? Maybe ill keep on the sim and save the cash for my rave env project?

Show me any torque tube heli that won't strip tail gears (or worse, something else breaks) if/when the tail rotor is impeded whilst the main rotor is still spinning.

From my experience, the 130X is fine if you don't crash it. If you do crash it, it's more durable than anything bigger, but less durable than something smaller (eg. an mcpx).

Looks great OP. how does it fly now? Love the extended boom supports!
