Given that my Forza 450 is only one crash away from being un-flyable (I don't have any spares of anything on hand) I considered over the winter re-purposing the electronics and building something else...
But then I started flying it again this season and I remembered how much I enjoy it... I'm going to keep flying it until I can't anymore.

If you like your 450 I am not sure I have much for parts but I do have a 450 forza that I would get rid of. Should have sold it a long time ago as Ryan just doesn't fly 450s anymore. It has been sitting for 2 years or more.

I also have one Forza 450 operational. I'm going to exhibit it in Montreal Canada Day MAAC event.
I would be glad to buy one other kit, but I prefer a new unused one. |

Keep the faith
As the JR crisis arose I bought Gobi for learning new figures, for the sake of peaceful mind.
Apart from that, still devoted to JR: Forza 450, NEX E6-550, Vibe E12 ITO, Sylphide E12 EX... Quote:
You are not alone. And no, you are not stupid. Just see the European FAI flying contests, e.g. World Cup Series, or Nats. Still many Sylphide pilots, and they got top placements! Somehow I am still optimistic... Cheers

Sucks, I have always wanted a nitro sylphide. I think they should reconsider adding the sylphide and the vibe 90sg to their list of support

I got a Forza 450 when it came out. RTF version which included everything even XG6 transmitter and flybarless unit for $450.
Very happy with the quality, also the youtube that JR made that walked through the build. Really too bad the market didn't work out for them. Thinking about taking transmitter and FBL and moving to an Align. I have 1 spare main gear so probably only good for 2 more crashes on the Forza. |

Didn't see anything there in terms of parts for the Forza 450. Not sure I'm glad or upset for buying spare kits.

The Sylphide 90 and Sylphide 50 were two of the most beautiful helicopters JR ever made. I wish I had either or both in my collection.

I am keeping my E6. Wish I still had my Vibe 90 and Vibe 50, but at least I got one JR heli left.

New parts for the 450 and 700 are starting to show up on Ebay.
Nothing that I have seen for the E6 yet.

I love my NEX E6-550. I have several Heli's, but the JR seems stronger (frame wise) vs. the other models I have. I really enjoy flying it. And of course I like my JR radios.
I do have several gear parts, from the main shaft gears to the tail. I doubt I will ever use all of them. If you looking for parts, PM me, I might have it, this is gear related parts only. |
