Need your opinions. FBL controller

[Bladerunner81]

Hey guys. Currently getting set up to do my first build for a winter project. I'll be getting the Blade 550X.
Looking for opinions and facts on FBL controllers.
So far Ive been looking at The BeastX(naturally), The Spirit, and the Ikon.
I like the idea of the Spirit and Ikon having the "Rescue" feature.
Been flying for 5 years but JUST NOW and getting into mild 3D in the form of Piros, loops, flips. Nothingng hardcore and thats probably the way it'll stay.
So I guess i'm asking what everyones opinions are? Is there a better FBL controller out there? WHY do you feel the way you do about your current FBL system? ect?
Thanks guys

Fly on and stay greasy like Bacon

Get the Spirit FBL, it will save you a lot of cost in the long run.
You will learn advanced 3D like you were doing it in a SIM because of its rescue feature, provided that the height is enough for bailout.

Also if you want to learn advanced 3D use a small heli like atleast 450 size (install the Spirit there), why?
Because even you have a bailout you still gonna crash, I'm sure since you still learning and also electronics or mechanical failure might occurs, so if it is just a small heli the repair maintenance is lower.

You need alot of spares for the 450 while you still learning new things, batteries I think you need 8 atleast because while learning you need to repeat the maneauver again and again each day until you get it.

If you are comfortable with all the advanced moves, then fly with a bigger heli to enjoy more!..
