Ihave both e-flight and Helimax. My helimax died a couple weeks after having it, but they told me to send it back (no shipping cost to me), and they replaced the entire kit. So, props to Helimax for great customer support in my case.

That being said, Iwill only buy e-flight heli's now.

Reason:

Iwork at our LHS, and repair helicopters. E-flight takes the cake when it comes to ease of repair!

Ihave pre-ordered the new E-Flight SR CPheli, and cannot wait to take delivery. Ilove my blade 400 3D as well.

My helimax AXE CPv3 on the other hand is a total pita if you have to change the main shaft or main gear. Mine was such a tight fit, that Icould not remove the shaft from the gear no matter how hard Itried. Iended up having to split the frame halfs to get the shaft and gear out, not fun.
