Re: Bigger heli recommendations

Thanks guys. I certainly would be thinking of a nitro machine as the big 
lipo battery packs are too expensive. Nitro is cool anyway. Just a pain 
to have all that starting gear..

Parts cost would be a concern, so I guess a 60 sized machine would be a 
good trade off. I don't fancy mechanical CCPM when my radio does it 
electronically so I guess everything's pointing to a T-Rex 600 nitro at 
the moment.

The only thing that concerns me, is that having a 450 SE V2, I can see 
that the machining tolerances at Align are pretty poor. If they made an 
engine to the same tolerances as they made my swashplate and other head 
parts, it'd be a pretty crap engine. I'll read some reviews and see what 
the quality is like.

I could probably stomach the cost of a decent heli, and would stretch to 
one of those Synergy N9 things, but the parts prices are way too high on 
that one. I'm happy to pay more for a heli but it has to have reasonably 
priced spares for when I'm feeling poor.
