Get a Honey bee fixed pitch. 99.00 rtf. Most crashes result in folding out the blades and taking off again.

It just a 600N.

As for the 500, I've grounded the boom.

I would never fly Spektrum and not spray the belt!

I've had LOTS of resets on the EP100 before I knew any better.

One night, it flew right into the fireplace!!

Check out "all things that fly" podcast.

A November "Follow -ups" episode.

At about 15 minutes into the show, "Justplanechris" explains it WELL!

He even sent his heli to Spektrum.

I hear you can ground the boom to the motor.

about the small helis,you can use a logitec or hitec gyro,much cheaper,MUCH lighter and holds just as well,it will save you money and weight.but really,if you are just cruizing around the house you could get away with a rate gyro,you could pick up a decent one SUPER cheap

Good point but:

I've thought about a TREX250 for myself.

Ozz wants an inside bird.

Not just a heli that CAN be flown inside.

you can get a used one for about 80-90 bucks(logitec/hitec)a brand new one is 104.00

and yes get a t-rex 250 they are AWESOME they fly great, are good in small areas,and are cheap to fix.i cant believe someone hasn't come up with a small heli thats flies good and is cheap to fix,much sooner,what would the heli world do without align,I'm soooo glad they just invented the smaller than 450 size heli,I've been waiting form one for months

Speaking of gyros,

How's this look from a value standpoint?

would be nice as long as they got rid of the drifting that the G90 had(110 is the update),the G90 actually hold good,but temperature drives it nuts


3 min till kickoff and the E-A-G-L-E-S will spank the cowgirls

I see the Quark and EP100 as "house birds, not very good outside.

The TREX 250 would be a bit much in my confined, cluttered house.

I'd like to have one though.

Good heli for the right person.

Ozz wants belt drive.

Admittedly, belt can be pricey but worth it if you ask me.

Mike,
Youd make a great salesman. You listen to the customer.

We need video proof around here.

Personally, the only non coax I'd fly would be the fp. It's light, causes little damage when it it's something and can take a hit really well. I have both the blade cp pro and honey bee king II and I like the king better.
