I picked up a really clean 600 a few days ago and man what a confidence builder. I had started learning to fly on a 600 electric a while ago but was repairing and waiting for recharging more than actual flying, and the $$$ for batteries of course got old because I kept putting them in the dirt. I do like how everything just fits on the 600's. Easy to work on. But man this thing is sooo much more responsive than my century hawks. I put a half gallon on it getting everything trimmed in just right and it is rock solid. So I started on some loops and then just held it there inverted at the top of the loop and thats when I forgot to breathe and I could feel my heart just pounding away, LOL. I landed shortly after that so I could wipe the sweat from my hands. I am using 10 degrees on top and bottom with some mild curves for now. I know it has soooo much more. Well just wanted to share.

Good stuff mate always easy to learn to go inverted at the top of a loop done it my self untill i lost my signal once and watch it go in nose first then tried a gain and the quick uk tail rod came off through my blades ,it all turn out ok in the end tho went inverted 5 times today no trouble think my heli likes it now i hope.

its just the fear of watching £500 fall out of the sky if you can over come that everything is ok

jetfixrguy your post gave me flashbacks. I was in exactly your same shoes a little over a year ago. I spent a fortune in big batteries and repairs and waisted so many countless hours charging and balancing. My buddies had been on me for a year to go nitro. I finally did and have never looked back. Just wait until you get your first 90.

Let your flying do the talking - don't talk about your flying

Anything bigger than a 500E and it's painful when you're electric. Nitro all the way 600 size+ IMHO. You WILL learn quicker on a Nitro ship, no question. Nice job and keep it up!!

Been there, I crashed it the second time I flew it, it was a carbon predator 90, I tried a loop and lost the orientation and it plowed into the ground, I think the only think left was a few ball links, nothing else, it was a TOTAL write off.

I love my 600n for just flying it around and trying new stuff on it. I don't know why but I have more fun flying that around than I did with my raptor 90's and 500, just way more confidence with it. Well done
