I just bought the novus 125cp, and i also own the original novus cp, a blade sr, and an MSR, im new to the heli world(4months) but i gotta say the novus cp is not a good next step,its just plain hard to fly.The blade sr you cant get parts for, and the transmitter that comes with it is terrible and needs to be upgraded to a DX6i almost right away so figure 200bucks for the RTF kit and then two weeks later 140 or so for a new trans. The novus125 cp flys as stable as the Blade Sr has a good transmitter with built in dual rates, and a non-motor tail. it flys ok inside and can handle quite a bit of wind, and seems pretty solid in a crash, ive only had it for a few days but it flys Great my favorite heli by far but................................Mine has some issues that have yet to be resolved, the motor seems to over heat, and i seem to get some wierd half power flights on occasion. If heli max resolves these issues for me a(which they should) i wont be able to say enough good things about that bird. but if you want BIGGER go with the Blade 400 I think. wish i would have got that instead of the BSR. thats my 2cents.[img][/img]
alright thank you... i was thinking just that... i havent been to my lhs yet (hopefully next week sometime), i remembered they had the novus cp when i bought the MSR, and i thought forsure it would be my next heli.
then i seen the blade 400 and trex 250 and i thought that would be my next because i heard the smaller the heli they harder to fly.
When i seen the novus 125 cp on towerhobbies i thought it would be perfect for me and i was hoping it would be easier to fly then others
I like the blade sr i just dont like the price for replacement parts. its a bit more than the blade 400
I want a heli that doesnt cost under 600 for the actual cost rtf, but i dont want to spend alot of money on replacement parts becuase i just can afford that right now.
since the novus cp and 125 cp are smaller their parts would also be cheaper correct?
i was also thinking about just sticking with the blade MSR, but i want at least one more heli, thats a bit better in wind, and not extremely hard to fly for a beginnner, thats all
