Well...I am looking for a buy. I can't decide between the T-Rex 450 XL CDE and the Robbe Crown III (wich is not a Schlutter, i think). The price difference is not so big (the crown is a bit more expensive) so it doesn't really matter.

Please tell me what would you choose..and ... why .

Thanks.

If you're a newbie, Always pick the most popular heli in the class you're buying into.

Why? The most difficult challenge for a beginner is proper setup be the heli big or small. You stand a much greater chance of getting help at the field or hobby shop or even online if you have a popular heli.

Also, if you are a newbie, I'd really rather see you start with a .30 class glow heli (TT Raptor) as they move a little slower. Things happen pretty fast with the little birds.

If you're not a newbie, my answer is "buy both".

Well i am also thincking about a nitro but i cant afford it. I am not a begginer i know hovering except nose in and a bit of forward moving. I have 10 months. AND I am flying for like 8-9 months a Walkera 35.

So ... the T-Rex ?

The TRex is a fine ship. I do like my nitro birds though :) I have two TRex's and a couple nitros. I love them all. :hug:

Don't get the Crown III, I heard it sucks. Its basically a Zoom 400 clone.

You are ready for a glow heli. Save up and move up.
