Ok, so I've decided to get myself an electric.
It seems that the technology has matured a bit since I got into helis
6 years ago.
My budget is about $2000 for everything except a charger and radio.
I have a Triton so I can use that for the lithium packs.
I have the 9z so I'm set with a radio.

Now, I want the smallest collective electric with the longest flight
time possible.
I see there's a few seemingly good ones out there and I'm looking to
you guys for opinions and experiences.
If I have to spend more than 2k then that's OK as long as I get the
features I want.

I'm also open to buying a used one so if you have one for sale, let me
know how much you want and why you're selling (too many crashes with
it? bad performance? etc)

Thanks everyone.

If I starting again with that budget I'd get half a dozen Honey Bee 3Ds. I
get over 20 mins on 1300mah lipos...but using semi symetrical blades......oh
don't forget......and a large bottle of CA glue.

Then you fly during day repair all at night
