Need help deciding on walkera heli's

[shporsche]

Hey,
I am new to this forum, I have been into heli's for about a year. I just sold my helimax-axe cp and I was looking at the following for replacment:

1) Walkera Dragonfly 1#A LiPo + Brushless 7CH RC Helicopter (http://www.airbornerc.com.au/product...roducts_id=827)
2) Dragonfly 36 LiPo RC Helicopter Complete (http://www.airbornerc.com.au/product...roducts_id=495)
3) Walkera Dragonfly 68 CCPM 6CH RC Helicopter (http://www.airbornerc.com.au/product...roducts_id=822)

These are all around the same price, although it seems they all have there advantages and I cant decide whats the best.I use my heli out in the open on grassy paddocks with little wind.
I was wondering can some one tell me what one of the above is most suitable.

regards,
shporsche

Hello I just signed on and saw your post,

I own both the 36 and the 68 and would say that although the 68 is a nifty design I much prefer the 36 as it is an easy flying Heli that has alot of support on the forums and for parts. It has also been very durable as mine has been flown below ground level several times and came back for more after minor repair.
The aluminum frame of the 68 is laid out well but if damaged it might be difficult to repair and the tail is built lighter which is good for 3D but isn't as hardy as the Trex tail on the 36.
I don't know anything about the #1 so I can't comment on it.

Hope this helps,
Huey
P.S. None of them fly with the stock brushed motor/nihm battery!

Ok, I went and looked at the #1 and it looks like they put the tail from the 68 on the 22e and made a ccpm head for it. The head looks promising but I doubt the heli will balance front/rear correctly!
I also forgot to mention that the 68 is NOT ccpm! It has a slightly different head layout that the 36. The 37 and the 60 are ccpm possibly the 59 also.
The 36 is hard to beat unless you are ready for 3d as it is not as agile as the 37 or 60.
