| Does it really fly that much better?I mean, looking at the BEAM head, it's just a beefier T-rex style head. So in my simple logic, I would think that it would fly pretty similar. Maybe it'll offer a wider range of pitch and cyclic angle than a T-rex, but will it wow you like the adjustible mix ratio heads? I had a Dragonus head on my T-rex and was just amazed with the stability and agility of the heli with that head. On the most gentle setting, it was almost T-rex 500 stable, but could flip on axis when set on the 3-D setting. The MA Bandit will have the exact same mechanics in their head and I think that will make it the best option for anyone really. Of course, that's just my opinion.
No doubt right NOW, the BEAM looks to be the highest quality 325mm bladed heli out with the SJM 325/450 V2 right along side of it (I actually just ordered the SJM and hope to get it soon). With the Titan SE just coming out and the Bandit, Rave, and Outrage G5 (this heli also has adjustible mix ratio) to follow, quality and options are going to just get better.
So to answer the posting member's question, I PERSONALLY feel that the Bandit will be the better heli because of the versatility of the adjustible mix ratio head and I am sure that the quality will if not be better, at least be of equal quality to the BEAM. Parts availability and price will probably be a big difference seeing that BEAM parts are very well priced. |
