Default should I OR should I not?

I had checed the other forum because i was thinking of getting a 250 but after checking the other site and talking with my local hs i have been told the 250 would be too fast for me. ( posibly true ) he said i should go with the 500 a little more money but would be easier for me to fly. I currently have a blade 450 3d i can fly some what i have 2 blade sr's one i can fly some what the other not so much... just wanted to get some advice from some T-Rex fliers!! so what do you thnk??

after blade 400 I bought trex 500 fbl. it is a little scary at first flights but it is much more stable compares to 450. you cant go wrong with a trex 500. I would prefer an mcpx to learn flying over a trex 250!

T500 flies great

The 250 can be squirrelly and it is so small that they are difficult to work on.

500 was the next step for me after my SR Way easier to fly, I think if you find the SR a bit difficult at times, the 250 would be worse. 500 is cake. Just intimidating at first.

dont waste your money on the 250 that once you get a 500 . you wont never look back ..
and will wish you hadnt got the 250 .. now if your not married and wish something to drive you nuts then yep get a bag of beezz.
now if your married will then you already have a 250 sittin on the couch lol ..

another words 500 all the way .. iam thinking of gettin rid of my 250 and 400 . i dont even care for the 250 any more . its a hog on my time . and money . its a pain to setup to small to work on . this and that ..

some have had great fun and luck .. but i think you will find more have had no fun and no luck ..
good luck and fun no mater what way you go ..

I think you will be satisfied with the 500. I sold my fbl 450 once I started flying an EFL. It is just so much easier to see and work on.

i know a lot will say get a rex .. but if low on funds .. the HK500 isnt that bad of bird.. i have one and to my door was $91 less elecs ..

i have about 30 or so flights on her and no issues .. out of box the baldes didnt track .. put new set on and tracks fine .. nothing is loose or waggs.. i addes metel mix arms and wash out arms as i was tryin to find the trackin issue .. but above that its soild bird ..

i think with the turgy servos and there motor and packs .. you could get away with like just around $450 and have a nice workhorse of a bird ..

the biggest upgrade i would do tho is a CF frame .. it comes with a metel frame ..
