    I'll not be rushing out to buy a new model again, done it a few times and each times there have been issues.

    I like the theory of the N5 and the pedigree says its going to be a winner, but how much better/worse it will be than its rivals is yet to be seen, its all very well someone with extreme talent throwing one around making it look great, its when it gets in the real world with daily users thats when we see first how well it flys secondly how the part stand up to the daily bashing they get.

    I also agree with Mark one ofthe new breed of engines in a vibe will make an awsome combination. i'm just so pleased ive still got mine.
    All the best
    Tony.

      No. Kit prices, spares cost and availability are key here. V2 600 will be the way to go next year like it or not.

        I'm not sure, from whats been said that a V2 will be out next year. The talk is of a 500v2 an all new 450, a big electric and the 700 gasser. Apparently Align a concentrating on combatting clones on their leccies by designing all new kits in that market for 2010.

                tbh its the probs that people had with the Velocity.

                I dont want to buy a new kit and have problems with it.

                I'm the type of person that would get the hump very quickly and then sell it off just because it could poss take time to get sorted.

                I really want one so I dont want this to happen and now I have decided I'm happy to wait,let it come out and get peoples opinion on it and then when I'm comfortable that its sweet,which I really hope it is from release I will part with the ol hard earned.

                Does that make sense?

                  Makes perfect sense ben I unfortunately don't have that kind of restraint so will take it as it comes, although I have high hopes for it

                    to update my original point. i was not going to get the N5 because i had the velocity. now i've sold the velocity i'll take a look at the N5 after it's been out for a while.

                    i have bought a lot of 50's and none of them to this day have been as good as the vibe but the parts prices are just a joke so that went aswell.

                    i have always bought helis on release day but i'm going to start holding off till atleast 3rd/4th batch as there are always always issues which we need to pay to fix.

                    cheers

                        Your not kidding, Ive not flown my vibe for awhile, I really was pleasantly surprised how straight it flies, so mines back off the market again

                        thinking though Igotta move one so I may even end up outing the velocity even though I have got mine sorted and shes flying very well. but in reality how many 50's do you need.

                          Its not a question of need, more how many can you fit in the house/workshop.

                              The problem is space more than anything else. I just dont want to start shoving them out in the garage so ive got to scrape the rust off before I use them
