Yea, I saw that, looks like you got the same answer over on RCGroups.

I started out in the early days and then got out for a bit and when I got started back I bought a Nexus against the one persons advice I asked. It flew ok and it was fine for hovering and basic flight but I out grew it pretty fast. Then I got on here and started doing some reading. For the last couple years I have been flying a Raptor 50 and couldn't be happier with it, its got hours and hours on it and it just keeps going and with normal maintenence I have very little trouble with it. I've since picked up a Hirobo EVO 50 and its even a little nicer with push pull and all but at the end of the day, most weekends the ship with the most fuel through it is the Raptor.

Do yourself a favor, check out heliproz.com get either a Raptor 30 with an OS37 or a 50 with a hyper and go fly. It will grow with you as you progress, they have very few problems and a metric ton of information on them on the net. Everyone and their uncle sells or makes parts for them too.
