I started out just under two years ago with a Blade 450X and mCPx. After those, I moved up to a 600 and then 700 electric. I kept reading all the negative posts about nitro. "It's messy", "it's stinky", "no power compared to electric", etc. I am so glad that I took the plunge with the N5C. I have enjoyed every second of owning the N5C. I have found nitro to be anything but a hassle and I believe it's more convenient (for the most part) because I don't have to worry about babysitting a bunch of giant batteries. There's also something about that glow motor screaming away during flight that just makes it seem more like a "real" helicopter to me. A couple of my fellow mechanical engineers at work have watched me fly both and they all felt the same way and said it was a lot more fun to watch the nitro birds fly.
Anyway, all those words just to say DAMN THIS N7 IS AWESOME!
