Well I have been doing alot of thinking over the last couple of weeks about what to do.

Thought number 1 is to order the Avant EFX kit and convert my EVO 90 and be able to use all my spare parts I have hanging on the wall or thought number 2 sell my Freya EVO and order a whole new kit (the Aura) when its available.

So what do ya'll think?

Both approaches are valid

I am in a similar position,
I have one Avant EFX and two Freya's
That's one Freya too many
So planning to convert the plastic Freya to a Avant EFX
and keep the XSpec as is (I just love it)
So the common parts issue works very well for me...

I like the Hirobo belt drive tail,
I'm not fussed with the torque tube drive
and the bling tail on the Aurora

I find it hard to believe that the Aurora will cost $1000 USD
The Avant and the programmable head cost $970 now,
then add the new tank, boom, tail gear box, torque drive,
main gears, one way bearing, skids, tail drive gears, etc

I am faced with the same decision. EFX or Aurora. I am partial to the belt drive and mccpm. Simple and reliable. Guess I will just keep flying the Evo and wait until all the smoke has cleared then make up my mind. Nice to know other people feel like I do.

Sell the Evo 90 and get the Aurora. To make your Evo 90 a Avant with the programmable head, it will run you up to $700+ for the conversion. If you even sold your Evo for a steal of a price like $350, you'd be ahead, buying the Aurora as the kit would then cost you actally $630.

BTW, there is actually a belt drive Aurora as well.
