Walkera 4#3 or 5G6
Hi Guys,
Im in the need for a new indoor toy and have seen the 4#3 and 5G6, both look fun to fly.
The 5G6 wont have any tail motor issues that my 4#1 has so I was going to go for this one.
However in saing that its a coax heli and Im concerned that it wont be as responsive as the 4#3
Thoughts from anyone?
Cheers
Brett

I have the 5G6 and I love it. For a coaxial heli it is very responsive and manuverable. It's a lot of fun for flying around the house. There are a few threads on both these helis on rcgroups that have a lot more info.

I enjoy the 5#5. Just a tad (1 inch) or so larger than the 5G6. Its a blast.

Walkera release these two helicopter at the same time,
and i choose 4#3.
Why? Because i can't find any parts available for 5G6.
But i can find 4#3 parts in ehirobo.

The 5#6 parts are the same for the 5G6 except the canopy.

Thanks everyone..
Seems there is a mixed response and both look like a lot of fun.
I might go for the 5G6 as it looks like there is less to break when you are racing around the living room after the cat or small children..

I have a 5G6. It is an amazing little heli that is a breeze to fly around the house once you set it up properly. Even my nine year old son can do simple laps of the loungeroom. It's pretty tough and I have been using 5#6 parts where I needed to make any repairs.
The 4#3 seems to be a lot harder to master (as you'd expect from a FP). So if you want something that will take a while to learn get the 4#3, but for the heli novice (me) the 5G6 is a blast.
Cheese.

RE: Walkera 4#3 or 5G6
I just bought the Walkera 4#3 from ebay from mrtangerine, comes with extra blades and training kit !! The guy is selling the training kit separately too. The reason I bought it was because it came with a free set of training kit designed specially for the Walkera 4#3. Should help me get to grip with this thing, I hope !! uk seller too, so I didn't have to pay import tax.

Yes, 5#6 parts are the same for the 5G6 except the canopy. You may want to consider the esky brand helicopters, they are better quality.

Well after almost two weeks of having the 5G6 its great fun.
Would highly recommend one for indoor flying, I did have a go outside however a small gust of wind and it was over the other side of the yard in the tree.. [X(]
