My Posts This: Topic Forum | I just think it's bloody great news there is going to be competition in the 50 class e-helis. When I bought my Logo 20 it was the only real choice for me , as a kit, out of the box. The few comments about whether size matters (stop sniggering) - for me - there is something very special about firing up a large bird (I said stop it!) - the sound of the rotors, the sheer size of it, the blade slap - and most importantly (at least for me) - the visibility of larger choppers (sigh!). It'll be funny if a lot of people who got into helis because of the affordable t-rex grab one of these - they are in for a shock when they see it spin up.
Things are looking up for larger e-helis. You can now buy a rappy 50 with e-conversion kit, motor, and esc for £450 in the UK. You can do this yourself (i.e. make your own kit) for under £400. Which is great. I'm very tempted ;-). (My logo with motor and esc was more like £1k when I got it). You can also get the Logo 14 (don't know how much), Logo 20, and now the T-Rex 600.
I'm guessing, and hoping, that the t-rex 600 will push larger lipos to the fore of the market and get the prices down. This seems to happen when cheapy equivalents start appearing on ebay :-) - I'm also guessing it will only be a matter of weeks/month or two before we can buy emoli cells without buying drill packs. Not long now....(praying) |
.), as well as the lanier Edge. Both ended up being pretty decent choices. I am on Readyheli's waiting list for the TREX, though with the motor I have now (NEU 1910 1Y), I might be better off with a Logo10 instead.
i was there too late to see Enrich flew her... but i got first close look at the bird...
. Looks like another project with lots of bling purchases
