| Kenheli... the answer is undoubtly yes. The X-spec is a great flying machine, but it's still not as good as the MA machines that fall into the same price range as it. I've flown all 3 helis, (Fury, X-Spec, and the Avant) and performancewise, the nod goes undoubtedly to the Avant. The Fury is faster and snappier than the X-spec but it's not a very stable machine. The X-Spec I found to be the opposite; very stable, very smooth just not quite responsive enough. Enter the Avant. Faster than the Fury with the same smoothness and predictability you've come to expect from Hirobo. The Avant is far easier to work on than the Fury, the CCPM mechanics are done properly and it costs less. I'm building my Avant from a plastic Freya. If you pick up a used Freya and the Avant kit, you can have (in my opinion) the best 3D machine currently available at a price on the order of a few hundred dollars better than the competition.
