RE: Is anyone fliying the caliber 5?
Yeah, I have to agree...if you are on a tight budget...the bigger they are the harder they fall. I have a JR ERGO 60 with V2 3D Carbon blades on the main, paddles and tail. The main rotors alone are $190. Plus, they quit making it 5 years ago, so parts are out of the question. However...The larger the heli the more stable it is so the easier it is to fly. This translates into a crash being less likely but not impossible. I would reccomend a 30 size heli as they are WAY more stable than the little electrics, cost about the same to repair, and are more economical in my opinion with the conveniece of fuel and fly. Its your call, just take your time and consider whats best for you, we shouldn't be making up your mind for you as you are the one who will have to fly what you buy. Jeff
