True, but that does not necessarily make them the best or even the best buy for what any particular individual needs.

For example, I found mylarger Swift 550SE Carbon (520mm to 550mm blades) from Centuryto be easier to fly then my TREX 450SE (325mm blades)and cost about the same to get into the air. That is because it is sized between the T500 (425mm blades)and the T600 (600mm blades). So you can see, it is closer in size to the T600 but costs far less to get and keep in the air. I have never had any problems getting crash parts for it, from a number of on-line sources, the three times I have dumb thumbed it into the ground.

I have also never had any "issues" with it after over 150 fights - not so with my T-Rexes.

I also found it to be very versatile - easy to set up for any type of flying, from lower rotor speed scale type of flying, to higher rotor speed sport aerobatic flying, to all out high rotor speed extreme 3D flying. I found it to be much more nimble on a 6S pack then the T600. To get similar performance from the T600E, one had to upgrade a number of items, and to run rather expensive 8S battery packs. (Now, if I was to go to that size of an electric heli (8S ot 10S packs and 600+mm blades), would go to the Swift 620SE.)

The Swift 550SEis also very versatile relative to gear ratio selection for different motors and various battery packs from 4S/3300 right on up to 6S/5000's.

You will find a lot of us Swifty's in the "Large Electric Heli" forum on the R C Groups website, if you want to ask any questions about it..
