Well I don't own one (but I did build a Raven 50 conversion) But if fred bronk was involved in the development of this heli, how bad can it be?
I always liked the way my Century products flew, I just had some issues with customer service.
Those problems have are being worked on every day.
If you have the electronics I wouls say go for it!!

Watch Alan Szabo fly it in the video section. But, then again, he makes everything look good.

It seems like a winner, take a look at rcgroups.com for more info.

Mine flies great though I'm still a bit of a beginner. Haven't crashed it yet and have over a dozen flights on it.
Neu 1907/1.5y, 9t pinion, stock woodies, Castle Creations HV45 ESC, gy401/9254 all running on 7s V28 Milwaukee Emolis.
Great combo and is my latest adrenaline fix. :glasses:

Hey,
Overall the Swift is a great little heli and nicely priced to buy initially and then later on the spares prices to.
There was a spoolup/down resonance bug present in a very small percentage of the early Swift kits, but thats been fixed now with improvements.
In my own flying club after seeing mine go we now have 4 Swifts, one just changed hands as the original owner could not get confortable with the more direct feel of CCPM controls. Another less experienced heli flier brought the model and flew it for the first time yesterday after I'd transfered the settings to his Tx.
He loves it!!! Compared to his Sceadu he feels it is much more stable and positive on the controls and you could see his confidence grow with his flying in general as he was flying it.
Bottom line, if you fancy the Swift you will not be disappointed in your purchase.
Ok I fly for Century, but many others will tell you the same thing :cool:
