Yes, that is a very good option... I love my EXI.... I only had about 20 flights on the blade 400 before it died and I gave up on it, but the 450 clones fly MUCH better anyway!
I spent the whole night eyeing the EXI 450 frame currently on sales for $29-ish at xheli.com. And the gyro is only 12 bucks!!! And the whole metal head and tail assemblies are only 29 bucks!!!
Man, 29 bucks for a flyable heli frame? Even cheaper than some display models! Can't beat that.
I saw some (youtube) people use the HK King 2 electronics to mount to the EXI 400 and they flew quite well.
However, I must refrain myself since I know it's not the time yet
Happy flying!
