how easy is the trex 100 compared to the blade cx2?
I am planning on transitioning from my cx2 and cx3 and I just got a raptor 50 and a blade sr in my room gathering dust so I am wondering if a trex 100 would be a good transition choice.

They are totally different animals:
CX2, 3 is coaxial 3-channel Trex 100 is fixed pitch 4-channel SR is collective pitch 6-channel In order from top is the easiest and bottom is more difficult. |

Not for nothing, but I'll throw in my $0.02.
I just started flying a month ago with a t-rex 100x and then a walkera v120d01. I have been frustrated with the t-rex and it's outside performance. The walkera is flybar- less and I'm told simulates a collective pitch bird pretty well in it's flight characteristics (but it is much more noob friendly to set up). It has proven to be very durable (given the severity of the crashes I put it through while learning orientations...) and I'm very happy with the performance outside in the wind. I think I remember reading on another post that it can handle the wind, if you can handle the wind... In my limited experience this seems to be true. Its cp tail is also much better than the t-rex's though, I doubt anyone is surprised by this (motor driven tails as a class are notoriously sloppy and prone to burn out). I cannot speak to quality issues walkera may have had in the past which have been discussed elsewhere on the web and on this website. However, for my part I've been happy with the engineering and manufacturing of this model. The t-rex is a great size for indoors, but cannot fly outside on anything but the calmest of days, which was a disappointment for me. To its credit the t-rex is very stable and will self correct into a stable-ish hover if it has enough room (and you let the right stick go to center), gently swinging like a pendulum. The fly bar facilitates this aptitude, but comes at the cost of limiting cyclic input which makes it difficult to overcome even light breezes outside. I know that there are other good brands and helicopters available, but sadly I haven't been able to justify another purchase just yet. If the boss said I could have only 1 I would pick the walkera. I guess it comes down to what you want this new heli you are considering to do. Good luck! Last edited by heli-b; 04-30-2012 at 10:58 PM.. |
