Get an S2 and practice a ton once you are comfortable flying that you can move into a 420 than 580. The S2 is a fantastic learning Heli!

Is the piuma an own breed or is it as „beginners big Heli“ as is the glorious 580
@westhobbiesrc8051 2 ай бұрын
The Piuma is a combination of the RAW 580 and nitro 700. It’s a nice heli. The 580 or Piuma is a beginners heli. Main reason is part cost.

I particularly love the low head speed flying. Do you think SAB will ever sell a DD version of this model? Looking forward to your low head speed flight of the SAB 420 Raw with the RT 420mm blades.

Both fantastic helis. The Piuma is a stretched 580. If you build a Piuma i highly recommend 12s! If you want a low head speed 700 size heli then definitely the Piuma. If you want something smaller that still flys good then definitely the 580.
