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.

I own and 3-D a Fury 60 expert , Raptor 50 and a X-cell custom.
I really love how the Raptor 50 flys with head mod , I would go with the raptor 50 over the Caliber 30 only because of the huge power difference. But I really like how the new Voyager 50 looks , I'd choose that over any of them, It it fly's like my Vigor did it will be one sweet helicopter.
