Question for the Gaui crowd
Hey guys...I'm just starting to get into rc helis and will be purchasing a sim here soon and probably a k110 micro for something to learn on and fly indoors.
I also wanted something larger for when I'm ready and was debating between the Gaui X3 or X5...just wanted to know what you guys would recommend for a fairly newer pilot and why you chose the gauis or other choices in the first place. Thanks for any advice! |

Gaui X5. Its easy to build and very low maintenance. Flies amazingly well. Ive had one for 5 years and no telling how many flights. It's all original. Never even changed a bearing out. If you do crash it takes it well. Iv seen a lot of them put in and they are quick to get back in the air. It flies like a much larger heli. I also have an X3. Its a good flying heli but I prefer the X5 any day.

You won't be disappointed with either. The X3 is a tank and handles crashing better than most in it's class. The X5 is just a all out awesome helicopter.
If you get the X3, buy the belted tail kit. It is a bit smoother. |

I recommend x3. I haven't found another heli yet with as excellent a balance between flying great and being cheap to build and crash. It's certainly not top shelf quality as far as fit and finish, it'll have sole slop, but I found that the slop doesn't hurt how well it flies, so go for it :-)
Great flying little heli. |
