Default Re: Looking for heli....

It is all in the setup. Get help setting up your bird before you fly it.

The Titan is great, so the trex 450 v2. Setup right, I think the ttitan outperforms the Trex.

The Blade 400 is NOT setup for hard 3D out of the box, it will fail. Not IF, but when is the question.

Change out the tail servo and get better blades...it rocks. But not until then. It is a good intermediate, and great step up if you have the CP and don't already have a decent radio.

If you have a good radio , buy the Trex or Titan. Get a hoop made of pvc hose, and two long dowels and get used to having a light touch on the sticks.

the Trex 500 can be flown with 2 3S packs used on your 450 class machines...a great step up from the 450 class, once you amass some batteries. Bigger flies bettter.

I learned on Trex 450 SE with a hoop, got used to FF , took it off, and when I flew a Raptor 50 for first time it was like a revelation....smooth, stable, I could keep up with it, awesome. Th eTrex taught me a light touch on sticks and the Raptor's stability gave the confidence to get agressive.

Good luck...go read everything On runryder.com , and trextuning.com, Helifreak.com.
