i know this is the Walkera section but this gets more attention than the general section so.. spend my money. would you get the Century Swift 16 ARF $265.00 (SHIPPED) http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLDV8&P=0 or the Walkera 60 for $205 (shipped) http://www.ehirobo.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=82_90&products_id=3629 and why

This what I would get because it made better and has a good reputation so you spend a but more for better quality would you get the Century Swift 16 ARF $265.00 (SHIPPED) http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLDV8&P=0 Vegas

i agree in that it seems the walkera could be hit or miss but it seems to have more to offer than the century also the century is going to take a lot more money to get into the air.. this kit is ARF.. still needs a lot as you can see from the link. Is it worth it?

WOW....to me thats a no brainer. The century is ALMOST ready to fly. At $265.00 This is what you STILL need to buy... Radio: 6-channel helicopter with at least 1000mAh receiver battery, Servos: Four standard size and torque, Gyro: Dual Rate, Motor: Brushless, 900-1250kV, Speed Control: For Brushless motors, 50-80A with plug to fit battery, Motor Battery: 4S-6S Li-Po or 12 cell NiMH (GPMP0364), Battery Charger and charge leads (leads and ESC plug for GPMP0364 are listed in the Accessory Completion Guide) charger will also requires 12V power supply or 12V battery Tools and field equipment. On the other hand.... The Walkera dragonfly 60 (Is what i own) Its $205 shipped....READY TO FLY....ALL you need is 8 AA batterys for the controller. I did what you did, shopped around, did your homework on whats out there. You can beat the price for what you get...with the Walkera 60. Even if you go one step better, with the Walkera 60B, with metal upgrades on main rotor an tail rotor, your still making out better than the Century. Later!

i agree with the Walkera as i also have the 60. if i were you i would go one higher andgrab the 60b much better then the 60..... :)

Ive got the walkera 60 and although it flys fine, they seem to break and wear out very quickly just from normal use, most notably the crappy frame, so u might be better off buying a decent quality heli that is built to last, not to be as cheap as possible. Ive had to fix my frame many times and it hasnt even been crashed or flown hard, it just eventually breaks from the stress of hovering.
