Hi!!
I would like to know the weight of this nice machine, because my tarot 450 is getting a bit on the heavy side: 900 grams. Nice flyer but a lighter machine will always fly better.
It's a 6s setup with full mks 95...and beam E4 swash:thumbup:
I would like to know if i could have some weight reduction, to have better 3d performance.
Someone with a scale on hand willing to help?

Let me put it this way: astounding quality and flight characteristics for about the same price. There, now you have an excuse. :thumbup:

Those are two things that i like a lot, but there is no support for beam helis in Portugal. I'm not crashing too much(maybe a crash two in two months) but i think i will wait to learn a few more tricks (working on the sim on hurricanes and funnel circuits with transition), cause crashing my tarot sport is cheap. :thumbup:

No local support for me either. I keep a supply of common crash parts and the internet (Amainhobbies.com) is my best friend. I don't know anything about the suppliers in Europe though. Nice to have a cheap heli to practice on, mine is a brushless MCPX.

In Europe, only in germany i can find a few shops selling beam stuff, and a shop in Spain that has some parts.
I also have a MCPX, that is the perfect trainer:clap

Nice pointer:).
I usually get parts from fast lad, and for my surprise, E4 parts have been showing up in the new products.
