I would buy what's a proven product. Don't get me wrong; The Aurora might end up being a great heli. However as for now the Stratus is the best one out there IMO.

Just do it.

I second rada70 100%. I will admit that I am biased towards my Stratus. I am not sponsored and pay for it all myself and would not even think twice!

I love my stratus. The aurora looks good... but it isn't proven, i love the way it looks too.

right now, i just made my decision and have another stratus on order.

I'll give the aurora 6 months or so of field testing to make a decision on that.

Sorry, I don't have both helis, but I coudn't resist.

I finished building my Stratus about 2 months ago (BW version), and just finished the break-in. I am not a strong enough 3D pilot yet to tell the subtle differences between helis, but the BW Stratus is so capable, that I would have a hard time seeing how another heli would be noticeably better. It is likely one of those things where between the Vibe, the Stratus and the Avant (once it proves itself), they are all in the same "league". Specifically, the thing I liked about the BW Stratus when I bought it (because I was debating whether to wait and get the Aurora), was that many of the big ticket "features" of the Aurora seemed to already be well proven in the Stratus. It was just too hard for me to tell what the Aurora had that the Stratus didn't already have with a proven track record.

Good luck with your decision...any way you go, you can't lose!

Well... since I'm waiting for 2 years now... I can't even think straight anymore

Think about it, it has been announced for 2 years, and NONE of the big brands has been able to develop something that is better... NONE, period!

True, I haven't flown with the Aurora yet, but what I can see from assembly videos is just PURE MARVEL.

That said I do fly a "classic" Stratus, that will be upgraded to the BW edition in a few weeks... and at that moment I might own the best birds there are on the planet

(yes I know I can't think straight anymore...)

(No 700N, no N9 for me please... let's give them to the kids! )
