well ive been flying for a while, learnd the cx in 3 days of 1 batt flights (not much to learn) then flew a friends cp was alright.
i currently sold my cx and i have real flight g3.5 now im not sure if its reolistic for flying is it? it was hard at first but i can hover and do other easyer manovers.
now ive always wanted a trex. and i may get one soon but is there a way to tell if a trex is a v2 or v1 any stand out differences.
also are Telebee gyros good?
is a speky and stock servos on the heli good for someone thats just hovering for a while.
are dn batterie chargers good?
thanks
Michael

v1 is light blue metal, plastic canopy, fake cf paddles
v2 has dark blue metal w/ unique blade grips & headhub (4mm spindle upgrade + thrust bearings), comes with a fiberglass canopy, dark blue 3 piece maingear (4 lug hub), different bearing blocks (gyro mount underneath tailboom), 2 piece pulley block for easy servicing.
telebee gyro sux, align gyro sux, efliteG90 sux
get a GY401, logictech2100, CSM 420ME or better w/ S9650 or JR3400 servo
the DS285 servos (super accurate and digital) that come with the dx7 microlite used to be the best servos until the HS65MG came out. the HS65MG are almost invinsible servos and that's why i recommend them to a beginner. the DS285 are one of the most fragile servos out there and a minor crash will probably break them all at once. if youre referring to the DX6 stay clear. the DX6 sux for ECCPM and the S75 servos are weak and flimsy...they will make the trex so hard to fly therefore for beginner you gotta get the better stuff...see the trend?
the DN charger is okay, but limiting. look into a triton2, astroflight109, or Thunderpower1010. the astroflight is probably the best bang for the buck lithiumwise. triton2 is useful because it will charge all types of batteries, but won't cut it for anything more than 5s, 1010 is the Ultimate lithium charger but will cost a pretty penny
the mx400 on realflight g3 is supposed to be very close to a trex
if expertly setup, the trex can fly as nice as the dominion90.

good for planes, bad for a trex which requires ECCPm 120* swashmix (dx6 HAS this feature but it is VERY weak and crappy)
i am NOT implying that the dx6 wont get a trex off the ground.
get a DX7 microlite system.
