Default RE: DX6 WHY A PARK FLYER

First a Hobbico Electristar Select RTF is NOT a park flier. Park fliers are small, usually less than 36" span and use small electrics, a 370/ 400 or smaller. They are usually slow and do not require large spaces to fly (hence the name), no more than a couple hundred feet square.

Second, it is not us that says the DX6 is for PARK FLIERS ONLY, it is the manufacturer. Can it work for larger aircraft, probably, can it work for helos close in, more than probably. That and all the OPINIONS on here do not change the fact the manufacturer says it's for park fliers only. Using something out of it's design parameters might work fine, might work fine for a period of time, or might not work at all.... If you are the type to take short cuts like this what are you going to do when changing the oil on your car? Well oil is oil so why not use Wesson cooking oil? You might get your car a hundred miles before you ruin the motor, maybe five hundred... And if you take these short cuts on your pride and joy latest helo what othe short cuts are you taking on it, gear lash, belt tightness, maintenance... My 2cents...

BTW the Hobbico Electristar Select RTF looks pretty nice....
