Its a completely different feel. More like flying a 600. But that may just be the way i have it set up in the Ikon. The power is way more and the electronics stay cool even after beating on it .
Stokke: +1 to what lee said. And no it's not just the ikon.. It just feels like a small 600. Extremely stable and great power. You can even upgrade to scorpion motor ( made for warp) if you want even more power. And yes this cake down cool.
Island breeze: haha. I was flying in frisco TX. so probably not
That is scary quiet. I kind of like the noise these things make. Gives you another sensory input to know what is going on. Great flying in that wind. My 550 would have been bouncing around like crazy in that.
