For a start lets talk about quality.
The walkera range of helicopters is so poor that if you chat to our freinds in Hong Kong about them. They actualy laugh, Yes laugh. This heli is a dream for these guys that are makeing them because they have acheived what they wanted to acheive. WHAT?
well they got a few good walkeras out and said look how well these can fly and look how cheep they are. Then they proceeded to push out heli's that have realy bad quality parts that will fly but are actually poor. You'll not learn very much with one of them except how to get fed up and leave this fantastic hobby.
As for buying rip off copy heli's. Well this is what I think of them and why.
They are called copies because there has been no design that has gone into it. They are simply the product of a company that has seen an opportunity to produce a heli that they can make cheap. Again with cheap parts thus earning themselves a lot more profit with your hard won money.
They continue trading while the going is good and as has happened in the past. When it gets tight they collapse into receivership and leave you with a product that has no parts support and a great big pile of shaped plastic that nothing will fit.
Sorry if this seems a bit of a rant but guys I speek from experience of my own and other fliers that are good freinds of mine.
Save money and do it the right way. Buy from reputable companies, You'll be able to tell them from the badies. They got reputations. |
Very well put. I have spent more on replacing parts on the Walheras than the bird cost to begin with. I have a Century HB V3. It flies much, much, better than the walkera 36 and 22's. I just recently purchased a Caliber 50 nitro. Hope it flys better than Walkera's
