Default RE: Lite machines,Fix the engine issues

I agree with fiat 100%! My experience with my nitro LMH was not a good one. I had all kinds of overheating problems with mine. Couldn't get a decent flight ever. It flew stable, which is why I later bought (and recently sold) the Corona. It is as tough as they say it is. I also fly a Hawk Sport and recommend it to anyone wanting to get into helicopters.

It comes down to want you want out of your heli. If you want to fly in any kind of wind, get the Hawk Sport. As good as the Corona is in wind (much better than a micro) it can't hold a candle to a 30 size nitro heli like the Hawk. When I fly fly my Sport in front of my plank flying buddies at the field they're amazed that I can fly it in such strong winds. They don't fly helicopters so they don't know that there simply is no better aircraft to fly in wind than a helicopter, at least a bigger heavier one like the Sport.

If wind isn't as much of an issue and you looking for tough, get the Corona.

Hope this helps,

Mike
