I think that has happened to me before...Somehow, I sold one of my cars to my parents, and ended up paying them $3,000.

Oh yeah, sorry...I am in total agreement with what Druss said about the whole head thing....Totally.

LOL!!! I was kidding Rain, ......??? how did you end up.... nevermind. I don't even want to try to wrap my brain around that one. It's snowing like crazy here, and the local rec center has basketball stuff going on all week. I havn't even attempted to fly in over a week. and I don't see it happening for a while. The depression seeps in.

Optimus....I owed 5,000 on the car. Gave to my parents. They sent the money to the bank, then told me they only wanted to pay 2,000 for the car, so I owed them 3,000. I ended up with 1 less car, and no money....lol

Never fear my friends....MegaMillions is up to like 93 million dollars. When I win, wich sould be any day now, I will build a really big Aerodome. Then if you can't fly where you live, I will fly you out for the weekend. I will also install those really big Hollywood special effects wind fans. That way, when I crash, I can flip them on, and we can all crash together.....YEAH!!

Man I was going to get a hurricane 550, but that is a nice looking heli. May have to wait for that.

it is nice but I don't want to be the first to buy it... although I do have an extra 1100kv motor I could stick in it. remember too that the 550 is about 20% larger than the 500, can't make any comparisons yet but knowing me i'll end up getting one anyway.

That is one gorgeous heli!

I have just started mastering my Lama V4 and I want a bigger/better Heli. I can hover tail in, tail out, in aspect, can fly figure eights.... just about all the stuff one can do with a co-axial. In the sim I can fly the more advanced helis pretty convincingly. So I am happy that I have learnt the sticks. (Now I just nead to learn to fly the Heli instead of the Sim)

So yeah, I am starting to get a little bored.

I would prefer to buy a bigger heli because I have been advised that they are inherently more stable. Also, I am not a nitro person and I would like to stick to ESky. The way I see it I have two options?

Either this new 550 heli, or the E-Smart.

What do you guys think? It does not look like there will be a very big price difference between the two. Well not here in Darkest Africa at least .

Esky has the G-smart if your looking to go nitro, it's almost a 30 sized heli and flies well but certainly not capable of hard 3d. I've seen it do small piro and inverted thats about it.
E-smart is great for the price.

the hurricane and e-smart don't have any huge advantages over one another, both have a very good price tag, very cheap replacement parts, and both can fly very well including 3d when setup and flown by the pro's. The only thing emsart has over the hurricane is it comes with motor for 50 bucks less, and already has aluminum frame and parts right off the batt.

I actually prefer Electric , and Yes.... I know I can get shot for saying that in the wrong circles .

I think I will have to wait for this new "ESky 900 3D 500-class CCPM Helicopter" to come out before I decide. I think it will come down to a choice between this new model and the E-Smart. I just hate buying something and then ending up wishing that I had bought the other option instead .

Thank you for the quick reply

The E-SMART is the best. Challenging but very fun to build. It's the hi-lite of your life the first time you lift off.

I'm waiting for 900 to come before I go with esmart. It's gained alot of popularity of the last few months. I've been looking for a good substitute for more power and all I've come up with is the align 600xl.
