How many of you fly Avants?

[BigVanVader]

Just wanting to see how many of you guys are flying the CarbonXtreme Avant?Come on lets hear it.

[NolanManley]

I've got mine still but I haven't flown it or anythiing else in almost 3 months now. Just too many other things going on and a little burnout have slowed my hobby down. :(

I even had Ricko paint a canpoy for it and my Stratus and I haven't installed either. :shock:

Thanks Ricko. I love the way it turned out. :happyd

Took my Avant EFX out fo rthe firs time today, and all I can say is .................. OK, I'm speechless. What a great machine. It flys like a dream, super straight tracking, and when you move the sticks, LOOK OUT. I went up and did a flip, and it was finished before I could think about it. Proceeded to do some continuous flips, and the hardest part was keeping up on the collective. It doesn't take much to hold it in place. Really going to have to spend some time getting used to it :D

[BigVanVader]

What other machines have you flown that you can compare it to?

[KYM]

Love my Avant
:smokin:

[mevigavant]

I have two myself. I've flown the X-spec, Extreme(now a Stratus), and Vigor CS. I like the Avant by far. If I were to sell the Stratus(which I'm considering) I would like to get the Vibe or a raptor90se.

My fleet has included at one time or another:

Rappy 50 v2 and SE
Xero G rappy 50 CCPM
Rappy 90 SE
Minair Fury Extreme
Minair/CarbonXtreme Tempest conversion for Extreme Mechanics
Hirobo EVO 50
Predator Carbon Gasser

Current fleet:

Minair Stratus
Hirobo EVO 90
Avant

Since this was the first day out with the Avant, my impression may have a little "new baby" influence, but the Avant felt considerably quicker than anything else I have flown, espescially considering the fact I haven't really tweaked any of the setup. I did let a couple of my friends take a few test flights, and they were highly impressed. One of them said he was going home to ebay his heli and start saving for an Avant!

Definitely a sweet machine to Fly.

Thanks for letting me fly your Avant at Clints BDay,Elvis.Makes me just that much more anxious to get mine going. :mrgreen:

[DebianDog]

I tell you what... Elvis broke his Avant out yesterday at Clints and I stopped what I was doing to go watch it fly. It reminded me of a knife going though the air. F-A-S-T as SH!T! That or Elvis had overdrive installed in that thing!

Nice flying man :noteworthy

[elviswl]
