as an advanced pilot, i prefer the reflex. not only a little better, much better and far closer to reality. it starts with changable rotor direction and ends with vortex conditon or ground handling. they are worlds apart. get a demo and watch the sample flights. pitch cruves, flight conditions - whatever your radio can do. autos are just as real as in reality. in fact the reflex out of the box is a little harder that real life but you can tune it in with the params if you want. pretty nice heading hold/heading lock function plus you can use/make your own models if you want. there is a new version comming up that i just saw and the funny thing is it costs nothing. serach here for xtr and you will see some pictures you won't believe. with them you really have the feeling of being a customer. simon
