Which EP 600 will/would you buy?

[Motions]

I've seen quite a bit of hype over the Trex 600 lately. IMHO the e-Raptor is a much better model than the Trex in performance and quality.

What are your thoughts and which one would you most likely buy?

[DebianDog]

Umm Hirobo Lepton or Roxxter 55

Are they not 50 sized?

[capebob]

I'm not sure about the Roxxter, but the Lepton is a small helicopter. Here is a quote from MRC's web site:

The Lepton EX is noticeably bigger than any 400 size mini electric currently available on the market, yet smaller than a 30 size for easy transportation and will comfortably fly in just about any sports playing field area. And because it is electric, noise is not a factor. Also due to its larger size it is easier to see, easier to handle in windy conditions, more stable, yet still small enough to be flown indoors.

I was trying to pick the mainstream models and I know I forgot some. Just wanted to get a general idea on people's opinions.
Who follows and who is experienced.

[mplourde]

For me, Century Swift 16 for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pieces pricing are lower a little bit than thunder tiger , and it's sure we will change some pieces one day....

Other reason is because I know well Century mechanics... It's just à choice... :wink:

Henseleit 3DMP and I'd buy another one with no hesitation

[Laurens]

E-Raptor
Still in designing stages

Trex 600
See Eraptor

Logo 20
Proven heli, doesn't have a driven tail though.

Swift 16
This is a 30.

[z11355]

Still prefer the Hirobo.

Wouldn't go near a Century product and the Trex600 probably will be good when
it hits V3 status.

[Laurens]

Z, I don't understand the century thing, can you explain that?

You're right about the Align thing though.

[z11355]

Simply put, I think most Century products are not very good and I don't like
the way the company does business.

I vote w/ my wallet and what I see as 'quality'. On those counts, Hirobo
and the kind of support that Jeff Green provides sways my vote.

[Art-Tistic]

Mini-Joker...and that's that! No upgrades needed and part wear is almost non-existant. I may even let my Maxi go to get one. The only other bird that'll be close will be the MA when it finally arrives.

Yes it's$$$ but until you build/fly one you can't understand.

I agree w/ you re: MiniJoker but disagree w/ the MinAir MXR.

It seemed overly complex, esp. when compared to the Lepton or MJoker or Roxxter

[tjmitchem]

...The only other bird that'll be close will be the MA when it finally arrives....

I suspect the Roxxter is close right now :D Check out the video with Marcus Kim in the video forum :shock:

Century service ? Great !

They've come a loooooooooong way believe me.

Nothing but good things about their commitment and presence here in the forums supporting the Swift.

I've got 2 Swift's and an e-raptor 50. Love them all.

Swift doesn't belong in here though because it is a 30 sized..... however....

toss on a Logo 14/20 boom/tail and you can up 600mm blades.

I'm running 550's on one of my Swift's and it's great.

I may get a Rex but I will wait until at least a v2 will come up with some bugs ironed out. There is never a perfect '1st' heli and I don't think Align will change history now.

my vote goes to

Swift with 550 blades
Raptor 50
Logo 14
Rex 600
in that order

* as far as money is concerned... .the Swift 16 with 550 blades beats them all by a long shot. Replacement parts are dirt cheap and hold up very well. I know. I'm an expert lawn dart technician. :mrgreen:

[Klinger]

My Logo 14 is stretched and runs 600 blades so i think that counts for a 50 size. With driven tail and good engineering, its a lot lighter than e-rappy and fly's great.

[PDC]

3DMP or MXR500

[WillJames]

MA 50-E (MXR500) or maybe a Roxxter, depending on if they ever make their own tail parts for it and after I see how they both hold up.

[AV8TOR]

You should add a “No thanks, I will stay with my smaller electric” poll option.

[littleman]

mini-joker, great quality cool heli
A.J.

[sgt1959]

Good point will if MA MXR500 ever comes into full production that may be my next bird depends on how it holds up and the cost of spare parts plus its made in the good ole USA for now tho im sticking with my ep600 10s2p evo20s and actro 24-4,
Kotronics jazz 10-55-32.

[WillJames]
