Default 46 or 50

Clarifying,,, I'm considering going to a 50 size instead of the Caliber. One lhs carries plenty of rappy stuff which would make me lean towards the R50. If I'm going to have to depend on mailorder I don't know what I'd go with. The lhs that has ordered the Caliber for me can get most anything I'd need for it in a couple days providing GP has it and will ship it to him. If I stay with the Caliber, it will get a fresh new 32SX-H. I just keep leaning to the 46-50 size because I've had a 30 (Nexus) and a 60 size (I love my Fury!). Comparing the two I'd much rather have my new heli fly more like the Fury than the Nexus. That's why I keep leaning to the 50 size. Fuel consumption isn't a real concern to me. I frequently burn a gallon plus every trip to the field. The truck is always fully loaded and I go for the day!

Furyflyer, since you have owned a Caliber 30 and from your username I'm guessing you've hovered a Fury or two, would you go to say an R50 or stay with the caliber? From the prices I've seen I'll stay away from the Sceadu 50 and some of the others. This is going to be crash test dummy heli. I'll be using it to try things that I'm not yet willing to risk the Fury on so parts cost would be a concern hence the R50 consideration.
