    Hello all, my name is Mark. I've been flying for a couple of years (and crashing) now. The Heli Gods have been both good and bad to me. The birds I fly are: MCPX, Tarot 450 (formerly the most expensive 450 clone), Align 500, Rush 700. All three of my bigger birds are using V-bar.

      The Birds says 750, but I'm not interested in stretching it to a 750. The reason is the difference in blade pricing. I'm not willing to pay an extra $60.00 for the added 50mm.

      Hi Mark, glad you joined up. My first bird was an MCPX and i flew the blades of that thing for at least a year. It taught me many things and today I still fly the mcpx BL, own a pretty hot goblin 700, trex 550 and mcpx stretch 450. What flying standard are you up to so far? IE figure 8s or 3d? If you need to learn something, just ask! Welcome aboard!

      I'm working on sport flying at the moment. I can only fly three days a month, so I don't get much stick time. Thanks for the welcome Ray!
