2 things. 1st.. I have to say. The most heli like the trex is the trex. Cant get much simpler then that.
2ndh thing. I to have decided I want to start looking for something bigger. Right now I dont want to do 3d. Just normal flight. I do however want to get into scale stuff. I have seen people use the trex 450 and the 600. But I dont know which is better. Also what about HDX450se V3? I hear that is almost just like the trex but no carbon fiber frame which supposedly creates static elec. and can fry your electronics. So Im in the same boat as you. Glad you posted it first.
