Same here, 14 years out of Helis just got back into them. May get 2 of these.

I am using the Align DS450M's. I dont see why the 508's would not work, they have more torque at the expensive of speed.

I disagree that the LM version is a waste of money, I would much rather have the aluminum parts vs plastic. The tolerances of plastic are not nearly as good as aluminum so flight quality could certainly be different. There’s a reason why all high-end helis are built with aluminum, it’s a much better material for these little birds and the crazy amount of RPM/stress they are under. The plastic version would probably be fine since it’s your first CP heli and your not going to be flying hard 3D, but personally I would still invest in the LM.

@@mangzrc Thank you for the reply and for your opinion! I was planning to run it not at 100% throttle, but less. I believe it would be possible to buy metal head and replace it later probably then. I for sure would take the LM version because metal looks nicer, but i'm just a bit tight on my budget so saving 100 euros makes sense for me for now, so that's why the LP was considered :) you say you ran this heli on 70% throttle and it still was low? Was it like less responsive or what? Sounds like for a newbie it should be 100%? Also, just to mention, i'm new to collective pitch helis, not to helis overall. I have mini indoor fixed pitch heli and i learned orientations stuff and can fly with turns and stuff without crashing. I know i still will need to learn some collective pitch management and probably manual balancing of the machine :) so that's why i wonder if middle RPM or higher RPM will be better for learning? Though, it is probably something what i would discover on my own anyway when i would get that heli, but for now while i don't have this heli, i think i still could ask this question, hah. I'm curious what risks or discomfort it may give if fly on lower RPM? And what exactly you meant by 'a lot of throw' when you said it needs higher RPM?

Thanks man! I was referring to the Buddy 380, which swings the same size blades as the 470.

The 470LM Super-combo is around 549.99. I actually got mine on sale from HeliDirect for $490-ish.

Spektrum 6250

Usa le lame da 69 mm. Le pale di coda da 74 mm forniranno un maggiore controllo della coda, ma non è necessario con la configurazione di serie e potrebbero causare caratteristiche di volo indesiderate come il movimento della coda.

Ok grazie

Ciao ,vorrei cambiare la fusoliera sul 470, sai dirmi dove posso acquistare una di riproduzione? Grazie

Yes, I am in college attending a University. I am in my last semester before I graduate with a 4 year business degree. I am super blessed to live on roughly 40 acres, so I am able to fly everything right in my backyard!

It’s electric, they do not make a gas version of the 470.

If your having tail wag issues it’s either because your gyro gain is too high or the mechanical setup on the tail is incorrect or both. Start by resetting up the tail and insuring it’s perfect mechanically. Once you do that, start lowering your gain until your tail stops wagging.
