Is the Ark450 XS.Any good?
Been locking at various posts and the quality of the parts seem to be hit and miss in peoples views.
I presume the Align TRex se V2 is the one most people would say is the best.
If i were to get XS would i have problems straight out of the box.
Things like servo choice,does only certain servos fit to get straight linkage runs.Is the tail a poor design.A nuetral opinion would be great.
I want some thing else to use apart from my mini titan but would like something that will fly sytraight from the box with not to much tinkering and mods from the offset.

The 450 is dirt cheap at this point. They're stable if
you're just learning or free flying. Steer clear of the
400. The 450 has better parts and you need to buy a nice
beefy motor and ESC because they're heavy. If you want to
do serious 3D, buy an SE Trex V1 with the CF frame. They're
not the latest greatest but they're proven and sweet to fly.
The V2's still have a few kinks in them and they're expensive.
You can pick up a V1 used pretty cheap. The only drawback is
the wind tosses you around a bit and it's awkward if you're
not experienced. If I had it to do over again, I would have
gone strickly Trex. Parts are cheaper and plentiful.
