Which electri heli...my take on the choosing the right heli

[528hemi]

For the last 2 weeks I have been reading and researching all the electrics from trex450's, swifts,logos,e-raptors,razors,trex-600 for the main part.

I have read hundreds of thread about " which 1 is better..A or B...

My conclusion....They all fly great for the 90 percent of people that can actually fly and take advantage of the helis....

I've seen every heli flown by master level pilots (online videos) and they all look to be awesome and have potential to perform anything that I would want to do.

Each heli in a competant pilots hands will looks awesome.

My conclusion, unless you are a professional competing in competitions I think you would be happy with any of the above helis and the main factor that I always read is the bigger the more stable and easier to fly......

I am going to buy the biggest heli that fits my budget and know I will be happy.

My choice is an Raptor E620se(could nto pass it up for $355.00), the Zpower z50A-600 running with 15 cell A123 M1 packs( cheap and safe)
Phoenix HV-85 ESC and Gy611 gyro/with 9256 and 9252's.

I met too many people in this hobby that buy( deep pockets) but cant fly for crap and own just for the status symbol of saying, Look what I bought!

Last observation..the people asking, which 1 is better A or B are probably
newer pilots and will probably be happy with any of the above.

Seems like a good plan but the A123 cells wont fit happily inside the E620 frames.

You'll need the A123 friendly frames sold by... nuts can't think of it at the moment... TPpacks.com

I've seen plenty of that myself. But don't assume it's a status symbol. The hobby is different things to different people. They bought what makes them happy.

Spork,

Very true...I withdraw my comment about Status symbol...I dont mean to offend anyone either...

That is the same with ANY hobby. I can tell you about the guy shooting a $8,000+ Krieghoff shotgun (back in the mid 90s) that should have bought a cheaper chotgun and some lessons. He shot the worst of anyone on the squad, the next most expensive shotgun was under $1500 (over and unders).

Or at the track day events, guys with expensive cars that can't drive safely through the parking lot thinking they are next to Michael Schumacher in talent (I instruct high performance driving). With one student, I was 15 MPH faster driving his car with one hand from the right seat, he was so clueless on the proper line.

Or guys with expensive airplanes that don't know how to fly. Heck I have seen ones that don't know how to taxi. :)
