Hey Noob I was thinking of getting a 450 pro but i might just get a 500 esp do you know were to get one at a good price???

I agree with George. Fung at Flying-hobby has them for $425 plus shipping every few days. even when its not on sale. send Fung an email and he will just honor that price. Its a hard price to beat.

Send Chiem at flyhelirus a phone call or email for some incredible deals also. that's where I got my Pro. Man the head on the Pro is really solid. No slop. As I'm building my Pro its more challenging to build than the ESP. Room is of concern (there isnt much).

Hmmm... Looking at prices all over the place, I got my 500 esp at my LHS for 530. No freight to pay, but I did have to pay 5% sales tax. Still, I'm very happy with that deal as this LHS will stand behind any issues that might show up.

Hi Noob I'm the guy you emailed on Helifreak to tell me I should part out my 450. I sold that and an Esky King 2. Just this morning I ordered my 2nd 500 ESP from Flying Hobby and got the sale price (emailed them yesterday). I also had them switch it to Hitec 5245MG's for $19. That's what I've got on my other one, and I like MG's

cool. so did you sold it whole or did you part it out? . Now you have 2 esp's

. lol I cant blame you. They cost as much as the 450.

there's is absolutely no reason to go with clones when the align kits are so cheap.

Sold complete. Like I said I wanted it gone quickly and I had just sold a King 2 the same way. I had 3 different size helis, 3 completely different parts requirements. I wanted to "consolidate" my spares, and I didn't want any old stuff left over. Also with my tired old eyes the 500 is so much easier to work on and keep in orientation.

My second 500 ESP arrived today, 8days from Flying Hobby to Ontario Canada (regular shipping). It has the Hitec 5245MG's, and the new frames with the lowered battery mount. Now the build begins.

Sorry to see that KC, I had it in my mind that after the first crash the bird would never be the same again! I was wrong man, you just replace the parts and put her back together and she is just like new. After at least 12 crashes with the 500 and 3 with the new little 450 I should know. Actually I think mine is better now as I have upgraded as I replaced the parts.

Hope she fixes up good.

Michael

that looks pretty bad KC.

I hate to see something like that. but it happens to all of us. It happened to my brand new 450 Pro. I just spent $200 on parts to make it whole again. Mine looked so bad I could not even look at it. Took me a couple of days to put it together again. I just flew the snot out of it this morning so its flying like its new again.

probably it is because of all the new parts put back in.

KC,

I crashed mine two weeks ago... I'm sorry you crashed yours, but don't worry, Like everyone says, it will be just as good, if not better than it was before!

T,

Wow... didn't know you crashed your new baby. I'm happy that you now have it snot-free, though!

BTW, I asked for a 450 Pro for Christmas!

Scott

Thats all part of it Rusty,just think of how many times the pro's put them in. I have seen them at heli fun fly's and such.Man i mean destroyed and quick. Sometimes they just screw up trying something new. This is not a cheap hobby by any means,but people spend there money on worst thing's i'm sure. Patch her up and get back out there.........

I just fitted the DS 650 I have had sitting waiting for the install and my god what a difference. I have had a HS5245mg on the rudder due to a major crash early in my flying career and have never bothered upgrading it. "If it aint broke don't fix it." logic was adopted. Man this bird is so smoothe and crisp now I can hardly believe it is the same bird.

looking good michael. the hs5245 is good on cyclic but not so much on the tail. that ds650 should work very well. it looks beefy too.

I put it on my 500esp. It should be fine on the 450. Even the 250 will have no problem with the cam. the camera itself only weighs in a few grams.
