If you have to buy a cheap RTF heli and you already have a Devo 8 transmitter, you are better off buying the new version of the Walkera V450. I'm not saying it's the best, but it's gotta be better than that Storm 450. Seriously dude don't get the Storm.

The ideal choice IMO if you want a 450 and it's gotta be from helipal is
This:http://www.helipal.com/trex-450-pro-...per-combo.html

Then just fit a Devo receiver and your set to go.

You will also get alot of info and parts support for the Align, not to mention an actual manual.
I would have probably quit the hobby when I was right at the beginning, if it weren't for the forums and help videos scattered throughout the internet, so it is good to have a heli that alot of people own like the Align.

I totally agree that the Tarot or even the AlZRC clones are a good deal. The only reason I voted for the Align version is because of the FBL systems. From what I gather after reading through the forums, the 3gx system would be easier to setup and troubleshoot than the ZYX if you are still new to FBL controllers and their setup. If you would rather the ZYX or have experience setting up FBL units, then any of them is a good choice.

Although many will argue this, Align still has the edge on quality and quality control, it may not be as much as the Align fanboys will have you believe, but judging from what I use and what I have seen first hand Tarot is not the same quality as Align. You might not have any issues and you will still have a great heli when it's all said and done no matter which you buy ( If you buy one of them, that is )

That gets my vote. The Align parts are everywhere.
