I'm looking for my next Big Heli

[geneween1]

I'm looking for my next Heli. Based on the the things listed below.

1. Must have good parts support, LHS or lets say more than three online dealers
2. Basic kit must be under 700.00US No Motor or ESC Combos
3. Lipo based power system, not looking for a Emoli or A123 Heli
4. Blade lenth between 400mm and 710mm
5. I'm looking for a "popular" heli, not a Exotic, for once I'm looking for "Everyone and their sister has one Heli"

I have a Swift, Trex600, ECO8 and both the EX and SP versions of the EP8's.

Also, List the power setup you would like to run in it, Motor KV, number of Cells and gearing.

If you guys think one of the helis I already have would be you top choice please list it and the power system you would run in it, maybe insted of a new heli Ill upgrade the one I have. Also this would help other people looking for their next Heli.

Thanks,

Geneween

Not sure about the prices/parts availability but I would think one of the brand new Logos might be interesting. http://helifreak.com/viewtopic.php?t=29783

Let's see If I can clear this up. the "Kit" cost is just for the Heli, not including the power system...With Power systems I'm looking in the 500 -600 range just for the motor and ESC and another 500 - 1000 for the a couple of sets of flight packs. does this make more sense?

Kit - 200 - 700
motor and ESC - 300 - 600
flight packs - 500 -750 two at least
Radio eq. - 300 - 400

so total it up to about 1300 - 2450 total range...I know big range but I there are so many people that this would help when deciding on the nest big heli.

I've been around for a while so I know I can't get a good Heli this size for anything less. Except maybe a budget Swift or Logo.

So let loose design a Heli with the above numbers and let me know what you come up with.
