Default Blade 450 RTF??

Hey all anyone with good/bad experiences with the Blade 450 RTF ?? Ive been debating either to get this bird or to build a TREX clone (EXI kit). Not sure but any info and review on this bird would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you get the Blade 450, make sure that you replace the cyclic servos after the 1st crash. I was advised to do so and I didn't. I pay the price of a bigger crash later on. The servos are good ones as long as you don't crash it .

So for $470 bucks is this machine really worth it or are you buying it just for a decent remote?? I seen alot of good things and bad things about this machine, and was wondering if its worth my money.... I just dont want to buy a machine and be like throwing my money out the window. Thanks for all the information.

It is a great heli for a beginner. You will hear different opinions. Align is an overall better machine. I have a Blade and I love it.

well thats good to know... yea i would love to buy a TREX 450 Pro kit but i dont have 5-600 bucks to drop on just the bird without electronics right now... i think i might just invest in the blade 450.... does the RTF version come with the older style of the DX6i?? If so would it be worth it for me to buy the DX6i newest remote and buy the BnF version?? I think the RTF comes with the older DX6i if im not mistaken, any confirmation would be great.

After getting back into helis from a 5 year absense, I purchased a Blade 450 3d w/what appears to be the newer Spectrum X6i. This one has the dual mode DSM and includes with the model the dsmX receiver, which is supposed to have a number of reliability upgrades from the original DSM or DSM2 or whatever it was called.

If I have the old Dx6i what do Ienter for for the bold values? Idont have those in the controller I believe.. Do I just enter the non bold values and it will be fine? Or do I have to change them?
