    What was the worst helicopter you ever brought? Letting other people know might help them from making the same mistake. My worst heli was a blade 400, flybar version.

      + 1 on the Blade 400, except in my case it was a copy, a Twister Storm 3D. It's what I started learning on & I thought I was useless smashing it left right & centre. It got the name "the milkshake" cause it was all over the place. Upgraded almost everything & it got better, but it never got to be a good heli.
      Wasn't until I bought a Logo 400 that I knew it was a sh#%box from day one.

      I would have to say the worst but also the best flying heli when it worked was my Rave 450. Man this thing flew awesome but it would never stay in the air long enough. Also the best autoing 450 I have ever had.

      Yeah i had a copterx 450 to , I thought it was good compared to the Blade... But then I changed to the black angel and put big rockets on the bottom! I thought it was the best Heli in the world and amped it up with a scorpion scorpion 2221-6 . It was a power house but kept breaking main gears.

      @smakmeharder Yeah didn't matter how much attention I paid to the tail system it would just strip gears and it was a bucket of mess when it went in. Didn't crash very well. I loved the lay-out of that heli and looked really nice in the air.

      Oh Ok, I had a similar thing with my Black Angel except it was the main gear that would shred under a hard pitch pump with my scorpion 2221-6

      I wish fishing was as easy as this website...I actually like the goblins, but there are heaps of SAB fanboys out there that I knew I'd get a bite. I really have liked every heli I have owned... I'm guessing you didn't build yours or your loc-tite issue would not exist?
      Cheers Mate, Simon - and never closer than nine meters

      Aleous 50 by far. Nice and cheap but really poor quality

      My worst heli was the Velocity 90. Bought it second hand may have been half the problem, poor fitting parts and a vibration in the tail . The torque tube isn't a neat fit in the bearings. Always a drama.
