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
Well the partsaren'tcheap they are about the same BSR however theyareinterchangeablewith Walkera 4g6 parts which are cheaper. The blades are cheaper for sure though novus 125=6.99, BSR=16.99 and thats what you willusemost. other parts are close though. you can buy 10 sets of the walkera blades online for about 25bucks though, and they are exact replacements for the helimax parts. Look at your needs really, if youwantmore of achallengebut need an indoor flyer capable of 3d in the future go with the novus 125. if 3d is not an issuemaybetry the 125 fp. keep in mind you wont "FLY" the BSR, blade 400 or the trex 250 in your house or apartmentor dorm, you could hover them but thats about it.Maybenot even hover the 400 inside its pretty big. once you get comfy though the novus line is able to be flown inside you house. the regular cp does not like the wind too much, but the 125's reallyhandleit quite well.
