Who is still loving their 550?
Last week I was able to get out twice to fly and I must say I still love this machine! After getting a metal tail pulley of course! I know this forum is quiet these days so I just wanted to see who is still loving their 550. I just hope that outrage will continue to support parts!

After my measly 6 flights last year, I can't wait to rack up a ton of flights on it this year! It's a sweet bird.

Totally love it. I just am not flying it in the winter because belt tension is too difficult to mess with when I have the TT fusion... but another month or so... out comes my comfy 550!

I am still lovin my 550 fbl very much, but I have my back up 550 that is a carbon copy of my main bird. I never fly the back up with all the same goodies as my main bird and it has only been hovered 4 times with a bit of fff to check set up and it just sits. I built it for a crash back up but the 2 times I have banged up my main bird it was fixable in no time at all. Will sell my back up at a very reasonable price if someone wants it Absolutely brand new condition with all electronics.

Still flying my original and loving it. Just picked up another O550 to start flying a second one. One flybar and one FBL at the moment.

My 550 is one of my favorites to fly. After a pretty good crash a while back it is now completely rebuilt and I also upgraded to 129T main ,12T pinon .8 mod gears which really livened her up with better headspeed. Still getting 61/2 min flights with 5000mah/30C blue lipos.

It still looks and flies as good as new and has been problem free.

Flew mine yesterday and had fun, but I still have some irksome cyclic interactions. I just ordered the Outrage flybarless head which I plan to pair with a microbeast. Hopefully that will solve the problem.
