Wanting to purchase Walkera
I really like the Walkera 4 F 200LM. I have many Blade helis and would be considered an intermediate pilot. Can you give me a good comparison between the Walkera & Blade?

The issue with Walkera right now is that they are exiting the heli market. Check out their web site and you won't find a single heli anymore. Who knows how long parts support will be.
If you really want something that size, the Blade 180CFX is a good choice at a reasonable price. Or just a bit bigger (but more expensive) is the Oxy 3 which is awesome. Your choice depends on what you want the heli for. I owned the 180CFX but it didn't fit my needs. To big for the gym, but too small for outside for me. I feel that the Oxy is a good mix of small size but still stable enough to fly outside.

Banggood are running out of some spares so be aware and stock up before all spares disappear.

I would avoid the 4F200LM as that was never popular. Spares are likely to run out more quickly. Moreover, it is a scale model which makes it unsuitable for thrashing around. The only Walkera worth considering is the V120D02S as it has a large following. It is much tamer compared to the 180CFX but the latter has a better future.

The 450d03 is a superb bit of kit as well with its 6 axis gyro,ideal for a beginner.If Walkera had made this model GPS capable instead of the useless G400 they would have had a world beater on their hand but their logic moves in mysterious ways.Many of the spares for the 450 have gone from Banggood site,sold out I presume with no more in the pipeline.
