Hey all i was wondering who has experiences flying the Blade 450 RTF model with the DX6i ? Im seriously thinking about buying this bird as it already comes with a decent remote in the Spektrum DX6i.... Any feedback would be awesome!

Well, the renowned John Salt of www.rchelicopterfun.com fane thinks that combination is the best available for teaching a new collective pitch heli pilot to fly, by using way reduced control throws and traing gear. The combination is very dependable, parts are cheap and widely available, service from the distributor is outstanding, and you can increase control throws and power as you learn to make the heli good at just about anything.
It's a good choice. Doug

Availability for upgrading parts just as sound as other brands? Such as if wanna put bigger motor/make heli a lot better?

You bet, there's a ton of upgrades for them. The heli right out of the box can do more than 99.9999% of non-pro heli pilots. It depends where you are at moreso than the heli, where are you in the learning curve of this insane sport ? Doug

I love mine and it only cost 169 on sale

Wha ? $169 ?
No tx, heli only, right ?

That is right bind and fly. Still an incredible deal.
