2010 Avant Aurora 90 FBL nitro info

[Brianl1620]

Hi all, I need some help, I have the opportunity to buy a brand new unopened 2010 Avant Aurora 90 FBL for $410.00 is this a good deal, also wanting to know about parts availability. Does Avant still support this heli,how hard are parts to get. Also what upgrades do I need to do to it, meaning parts that Avent has changed over the years? Thanks for any help!

That is a pretty good deal for a brand new kit. Avant supports every heli in their production line back to the FX, so parts availability is not an issue. You will be able to order parts from carbonxtreme.com. Here is a link to all the upgraded parts between 2010 and 2013 for the aurora:

even at that price i would go for the mostro nitro.
that saving is only a crash worth difference and you'll still have to spend quite a bit on the upgrades to get it to today's updated kits.
the difference between the mostro nitro and any nitro in the market is abysmal.
not even close like nothing at all in the market is close to a mostro nitro.
going for that kit to save a bit is a bad idea and a lost oportunity to get an amazing nitro bird.
the aurora nitro was designed in like 2005 so it's already a 10 year old design.
it had to be reinforced for the 120 and it's just not at the same league as the mostro nitro.
go for the mostro nitro and don't look back it's just so much better.

Too late!

There is nothing wrong or seriosly outdated on the Aurora otherwise they would have discontinued it. Mine flys great and yes a mostro would be nice but not everyone is independently wealthy.

Auroras turn heads at the flying field. Specially when you are saturated of other brands that look alike. The Aurora has that skinny sexy look with lots of bling bling out of the box that appeals to onlookers as well as other pilots. Outdated, I don't think so. Crash cost? blades are going to cost you the same for any 90 size machine. Parts for the Aurora are reasonable and always in stock. Last time I crashed was not because of machine problems but faulty equipment mixed with newbie experience. (tail servo failed and I didn;t recognize that it was failing, yet flew one more time) It cost me a pair of head linkage rods, bent shaft and a few hours of figuring out how to take it out without resorting to the hammer (and like everybody else, a new set of main blades)

don't misunderstand me.
i would take an aurora nitro over any current nitro except for the mostro nitro.
it's just that the mostro nitro is so good that makes all other nitros in the market seem silly in comparison.

Depending on my experience with the Aurora, and I hope it's a great one, the Mostro is next.
