There are a lot of helis that would fit the bill. I would recommend a 700 size. What brands are you interested in?

If u get a 700 u won't be flying ur blade 450 it's just a fact lol.

I would recommend a any of the goblins except maybe the 770, it may seem a little big for you and is not a incredible smack machine.

It would be easier to help u if u gave a price range your trying to stay in the ball park of

yea im not sure of what brand i am open minded and looking for suggestions, price range is $600-$2000. 700 size was what i was looking at but there are so many helis and i dont know which brand or model to get your suggestions would be really appreciated

thanks

For 600 you would have to go with one of the 500 sizes. I have an x5 fes and it is a lot of bang for the buck and flies really good stock. You can pick one up used for about 600-700 or a new one for about 1000. A 700 with a decent charging setup will most likely blow the 2000 budget when you add the batteries and a new charger and power supply.

Yeah, for $2000 you can get a Blade 700X, a charger and PS, and a few batteries. You can also get an Align 700 DFC super combo for just about the same, maybe a couple hundred dollars more. A spec'd out Goblin 700 will probably run you $3000-4000 just for the helicopter. Then there's Compass, Gaui, Thunder Tiger, Synergy, Avant, Alees, TDR and I'm sure there are a few others. All of which can be competetive, and you're still looking at ~$3000 for the heli.
