    So what is your favorite brand rc helicopter? Why is this brand your favorite?

    For me, at the moment, 450 is mini protos, and 700 size is Diablo. I like the MiniP because its just so versatile and flys pack after pack of smak without complaining. The 700 Diablo is a dream machine for smak and speed. Just a great helicopter all round...

      Only have two brands / 2 helis. My Trex 500 Pro DFC was my first so I love it. But I recently picked up @fidy5's (Jason HeliGod immortal) Synergy E5. It's now my favourite. I find it's bigger presence, higher visibility and smooth agility and longer hang time is boosting my confidence and be conning me to try new stuff and stretch my skills... Fist autos last week... First rainbows this week, Also did 2 half piro flips.

      I'm really into my Synergy helis at the moment. I love how well designed they are and the fact that you don't need to bling them out to make them perform and look good. Everything in the kit from the factory serves its intended purpose and looks cool too. They are very strong and rigid and fair pretty well when they have an unintended meeting with their shadow.

      I run an N7 and E7SE presently with a N5C sitting in the shed waiting to be shouted some electronics.

      Out of them all. I still love my Velocity Outrage 90n. It's just perfect. Some believe it's out dated now but really its not it's just that there is no support & parts are hard to come by. That doesn't stop me from giving it a hard time. I will never stop flying it unless I can't repair it. Most others don't get a start most weekends because of this bird.

      My favorite, is TSA. Not because I`m part of the team, but because I truly like them. They are tough machines that can handle a crash with minimal damage, and they are very solid flyers. A lot of the parts are interchangeable between the 600s and 700s, and parts are inexpensive.

      They sound like a solid reliable flyer! Have not seen many TSA distributors in Australia. But they look good when you fly them @Geena ie they look quite aerobatic and nimble.

      None of us can @Manyc , and @ZEN RC
      I think it works like this,
      "Every time you buy a heli before your married, you put a jelly bean in a jar"
      "Every time you buy a heli after your married you take one out"
      The jar will never be emptied as long as you live

      Life's a metaphor really
