Default Considering FBL for a 450

I have a 450 that I'm thinking of putting a mini-v in, with an RJX head...

Will I need to upgrade the hs65mg servos?

Is a 450 a worthy platform to try FBL, or should I hold off till I can do something bigger?

If I get a mini-v and later want to go FBL on a big heli, will the mini-v work on a 600? Or do I NEED to go Vbar at that point.

(1) Probably not, but I recommend you do so at some time. I believe they are not digital? Digital servos work better with FBL units.

(2) Yes

(3) Mikado recommends a full V-bar if you go bigger than a 500-size heli. Look at the SK 720 before you make your purchase. It works on helis from 200 to large nitros.
