N2raptor Heliman Location: New Jersey,USA
| I'm just a raptor guy,(I don't have a .90) but do have a Trex 450 as well, so maybe my 2 cents don't really count. But from what I've seen and read of the Turbulence and its technological advancements, and the fact that Dominick blew away everyone at the XFC championships last month, and it was the first time the Turbulence was flown in competition.... does it matter if some of you guys think it's ugly? IMHO Rolls Royce's are not the sleekest or hottest looking, but I want one! Because I suck as a heli pilot, I'll never be able to use the potential that's obviously built into the Turbulence, but I'd like to know that I'm flying the world's best helicopter from a Japanese company that has produced more championships than all other companies combined. I have friends that fly Hirobo stuff and they (almost) never seem to have problems getting parts or good solid help from the the guys at MRC. I just looked at the image of the final that MRC just put up and I don't think it's bad at all. It has the traditional Hirobo "look". Nobody has to ask what brand it is. Car manufacturers do the same thing with their grills and lights...as a family identity. I can't afford another heli right now, but if I wanted the best available with a pedigree of nothing but the highest quality, IMHO there's no other choice (even if it doesn't look like a Ferrari. Anyone who wouldn't want one....raise your hand!
