My Posts This: Topic Forum | I have both a Stratus & an N9. IMHO, I agree with all of Mujenpwr's comments.
The MA is a work of art & machine work...BUT...the N9 outflies it in all aspects, i.e., tracking, collective & cyclic response, speed, locking into maneuvers, & tail holding ability. The two heli's auto about the same but the N9 tail holds much better, especially in autos. It is almost impossible to blow out the tail on the N9 during powered flight & autos.
The N9 is a much easier heli to assemble & repair than the MA.
So, why do I still have the Stratus? It is a very high quality machine & looks really good after Pro Paints did an extreme paint job on the entire heli. Check out my gallery.
Overall, the N9 is the most fun heli to fly that we have had so far.
