I'm just on my way to my local hobby-pimp to buy one of those :shock:
Im selling my Quick50 to finance it. Does anyone have any experience of this little fellow?

From the Protech website:

In the night of october 31st into november 1st tragedy struck PRO models. Our complete factory is burnt down to the ground. A part of our offices are still standing, but all the rest is completely destroyed.
The fire department and people of our team managed to save most of our administration and some of our computers before the fire hit our offices, this means that we hope to have saved the heart of our company...

I finally got one!
I've got about 20 flights on mine the last two weeks.
Flying it with the standard Protech electronic and drive set.
Plan on making a video within the nearest future.

I'm not one of the best and most experienced pilots out there and thereby I realy can't give you anything more than my personal judgment. I have previously owned a Trex 450XL and a Raptor50.

I find the zoom 450 predictable, stable and fun to fly.
I plan on upgrading some parts in the mainrotorhead to remove some slop but besides that i really like it. For all-out 3D the standard 30Amp motor / ESC is probably a little to weak (using 350mm carbonblades and 13T pinion, it also comes with a 16T pinion for 3D flight but then it is recommended to use 325mm blades).
A local experienced 3D pilot are probably going to help me push it closer to its limits one day soon. I've only tried some very basic 3D flying with it, but loops rolls and flips are no problem. For hard 3D flying i think upgrading to the 3D main hub with 4 o-rings is not a bad choice, as it is very stable with the original alu hub... There are no slop in the tail and the tail looks similar to the Airskipper 90.

Has anyone else on this forum got this heli?
