I would stick to a name brank kit. You ,probably like myself, said well it is cheap, it comes already set up, and it looks impressive on the short video. But this thing is a log. The battery is so big and heavy that my toy tank could'nt pull it.
I have ordered stuff on line before, and have had no success with the cheaper stuff. The Hummingbird knock offs are junk, nothing flys like aa original hummingbird, and that is that.
I learned a lesson about knock off stuff, and that is, that is usually mis advertised, and is always compared to its counter part, which it cant hold a candle to.
Basically its like this. All this stuff is made in China. And i just returned from there a few weeks ago. I visited various factories that assemble motorcycles. And believe me, it is much different than going to honda of Japan. But the bikes are cheap, and get the job done. So you have to ask yourself one question. What am i going to expect from this product? And why does the name brand cost so much more? It is all a simple quality issue. Attention to detail. And that is exactly why MS, Century, and the other big hitters dont offer these kind of packages for this small amount of your hard earned cash.
Learn from my mistakes. I still have a hole in my foot from where i stomped my E-Sky honeybee into the turf after 8 hrs of toying with it, and thats no bs.
I bought a collective hummingbird, and must say that i was impressed with it right out of the box. It flew well forward, and backward, and that is the extent of my abilities.
I would buy a Hummingbird collective pitch model, or wait for the new Hummingbird Pro. It is totally kick ars. And after talking to century yesterday, i learned that for under 200.00 you even get a brushless motor and controller with th package. Release date is around January 25th.
Good luck. |
