| My view is this:
* .90s are actually easier to fly, IMHO. The extra mass helps, as does the extra disk area.
* They auto a lot better, and generally fly more easily and better than a .50.
* .90s do have the inherent dangers of a larger machine: More energy when things do go wrong. It'll do more damage to about everything it hits, including itself.
That being said, you'll be able to control a .90 as much as you can control a .50. The amount of skill required to fly the larger machine is no different, all things said. You won't lose control of a .90 in a situation where you would have control of a .50.
It's not like the difference between walking a small dog and a large dog (ie. you can control the small dog, but the big dog hauls you around.)
It just costs more to crash a .90. The "Crash Index" - average cost to fix up a 600N (minus the cost of the blades) is about $30. The Synergy's crash index is about $90.
And the blades for a .90 generally cost more as well.
So the bottom line is a .90 generally costs more to fly (fuel) and fix (in case of catastrophe).
As long as you are able to control where the heli goes (ie. so it will crash in a "safe" place), then there's nothing to worry about.
