I have noticed that this forum seems to be primarily about electric helis and even planes. Tony I'm a huge f%an of electric but even a bigger fan of Nitro. I recently purchased a Titan X50. possibly one the best nitro's ever made. i do realize that this forum is for a lot of beginner's but i also see a lot of experienced pilots as well. it would be nice for those of us that have flown electric for a while and would like to move into nitro to get some help to those people as there are plenty of differences between the two. I myself say if you don't give at least one nitro a go you don't know what your missing. More about the X50 itself. The X50 is made by Thunder Tiger a name we are all familiar with. It has aluminum everything, the entire head is solid aluminum and the majority of the tail rotor is also aluminum with part available to add even more aluminum to the tail. Both the main and tail shafts are heat treated hardened stainless steel. 90% of the body including the main rotor blades and the tail boom are carbon fiber. The torque tube is and solid drive shaft geared from the main gear to the tail gears for virtually 0 power loss between the two. I could go on, but just Google the thing. Needless to say this is definitely one of those "not so cheap" heli's as it cost $600 for the Kit with the engine. Now i decided to upgrade from my cheap POS Hitec TX/RX and go with the Spekturm DX8 TX and the AR8000 RX because i had to purchased all of this for the first time that is another $400 or so. i also needed servo's and only digital will do for this one. Ended up getting the Spektrum H6010's for the 4 swash and throttle servo's and the H6040 for the tail. now I've never used Spektum servo's I'm hoping they work. the Build went great, no hang ups and very easy step by step manual. i have yet to install the radio and do a final set up on this heli, but i will be doing this very soon. Im hoping that withing this forum you guys can give me what it takes to dare get this thing in the air, because right now "YIKES"
