VERY well said!! vfr_rider2000, you had better seriously consider what ManillaHeli has highlighted here.

My first 60 was a Vigor CS. At the time I could only hover(all orientations) and perform FF. I thought that my little Raptor 30 was not good enough for me. Well, I learned my lesson. I sold that Vigor not to long after it was built.

So, I thought that if I could get a slightly cheaper heli I wouldn't be as intimidated. So, along comes a Fury 60 Expert. Man was I in love. But, I soon realized that I wasn't ready for it either. The crash costs keep me to scared to try anything new. Just the thought of replacing all that carbon fiber, fiberglass canopy, expensive blades, yada yada yada held me back.

So, I traded it for my Raptor 60 that is in my gallery. It came FULLY loaded with almost every TT upgrade available. I am not an upgrade freak but it does look killer. I figure I will fly it till I crash it and then put some of the standard equipment back on. It is much cheaper than the Fury stuff was. Well, 3 cases later it is still together just like I bought it. This year I have learned loops, rolls, stall turns, backwards flight, backwards loops & rolls, autorotations, inverted nose-in hover, and now working on inverted flight. This machine has made me more comfortable on the sticks which leads to better flight progression. I am no expert that's for sure. But, I think you might want to consider the Furys, Futuras/Milles, Vigor CS, etc. as good choices when you can already do the above maneuvers in you sleep. Then and then only will you appreciate a higher end machine.

Again, get a Raptor 60 or a Freya! Reward yourself with the Furys of the world when you can mow the lawn inverted!
