Looks similar to the mostro and obviously the gob. Seems like everyone is 'copying' gob's boom style.

imitation is the highest form of flattery...hmmm

The uncanny resemblance of future birds.

Seriously, I am once again being forced to admire companies like hirobo, mikado, align and thunder tiger. They stick to their guns and quite honestly, the workhorses of my fleet are the trex700n and raptor 90se. super freaking dated BUT super-duper reliable. Maybe cos it was designed way before the 'power to weight' ratio and crazy headspeed came into prominance.

My workhorse is Trex 700. Lol.

I have to agree the gob's boom style is a looker.
But Trex comes in many sizes too, from 150 to 800!

+1000. maybe a couple of notchy bearings to be replaced once in a blue moon but that's it! the dinosaur just keeps feeding (pun intended). like the vintage toyota crown (old cabs)...it's definitely NOT sexy and stupid heavy BUT it goes on & on. Bet you didn't know that it's a freaking three litre car...keke!

Viva TREX! anyway, i'm toying with placing pre-order for mostro. no charge until delivery and if last minute I kena cancel, they are also ok with it...WTF?!

There are all kind of heli fliers. Some just want anything that can fly, some need a gob with HV setup for just hovering. I think if you are serious about training on your flying skill, you need a workhorse. To be a workhorse, the heli reliability, parts quality and local parts support are very important.

no wonder after such extensive period in this hobby, I still noob flier....cos I have too many workhorses!

Haha, that's because you can afford it. Anyway, you are too humble. Poor me only have one workhorse.

Forza 450 EX had a third bearing post, I would reconsider. So far, among the 450 helis, the Forza 450 has the best power to weight ratio, and can take up to 350mm blades.
