    If you could only fly one brand what would it be ? and why ?

    Curious as to see what brand people are preferring as there are so many good options out there in all sizes.

    I would choose MSH at this stage, they have some very well designed heli's in most classes.
    They are all reasonably priced, tough and easy on wallet or purse (For the girls) as they are a pretty low parts count.

    We all know what 5Fifdy is gunna say, lol

      I have not really tried enough to know... But all i want is the fastest, lightest, best looking and lowest part count helicopter. One which does not kill batteries after 4 flights but has more than ample power. Did I mention i want low cost replacement parts and hundreds of flights before anything wears.

      TSA for me. Inexpensive kit/parts pricing, top notch quality, fantastic durability, 600s and 700s share many of the same parts, and they fly amazingly well.

      I like the cheaper brands, anything that falls apart in the sky. Then again nothing is more beautiful than seeing a Banshee or TDR explode in mid air. Its just that it happens less frequently unfortunately. Muah ha ha..

      Damn hard decision - loving my Gaui X5 atm.. but also love my 700 gasser...
      I fly my align 450's a lot too..

      I guess i'd have to be almost forced to say Align, just purely for the constant variety and greater parts availability.. If force to only ever pick one brand that is..

      So far I'm a Blade fan (no pun intended) but only because I haven't gotten to try anything else yet. Parts are a little pricey, but so far I haven't had to buy anything but the usual parts such as blades, tail rotors/booms, and an a landing skid or two. 120SR blades are thin and brittle, but I modded a set of 200SRx blades (shortened and re-pitched to match original) and haven't had to buy anymore since. I haven't had to buy anything for my Nano CPx yet. When I'm ready to buy another heli, it will either be a Blade, and if I change brands, it will be extensively researched first.

      It's a hard one... I've been enjoying my goblins but still love my trex...

      I think I would have to go align... mainly because if something new and innovative come out they will have a version pretty quick... and still means I could still fpv with their quads...

      That said.. the goblin 570......

      Plus I haven't flown other brands so I'm not going to limit myself.... :p

      ATM I'm thinking Gaui. They have the X7 NX7 both needs satisfied, parts are cheap & doesn't look like support is going to stop anytime soon.

      On the other hand I cant stop looking at the Aleese EVo :D

      The more your in this hobby the more you appreciate parts availability and low costs. One of the great features of the AleeS philosophy is high quality parts at a crazy low price. Thats a guarantee

      What you speak of is very true @Jeff. Also the heligods tell me they were very impressed with your flying exhibition yesterday. Your head first auto from the heavens was incredible!

      I like the idea of sacrificial parts as well.. I noticed that when you're links broke it prevented further damage. How much do the kits cost?

      Charley Stephens is one of the most innovative designers in the Rc Heli market. There are some many other features in the designs people will discover in their build. Existing Legacy kits are around $690 and the new Evo are retailing in the first run only for $890.

      Having owned my AleeS Rush for a little over a year now, and built many other helicopters, I'd have to agree with @Jeff B and say AleeS would be my brand. They are built like tanks, and have an abundance of little details that are just done right in comparison to other brands. The parts quality just can't be beaten! I can't wait to see what comes next from AleeS.... Im sure whatever it is, it will be my next purchase!
