I have enjoyed using the King Arthur Lancelot. Has anyone had direct experience comparing the Turboplane with the Lancelot?

I have them both Turbo plane is "choppy" has a tendency to jump and leave marksKA is definitely superiorI got all their products I recommend a combo of Lancelot and Holley Galahad various grades BestAnton

I have used both the turbo plane works faster and has a smoother finish always work right to left and use it at the highest speed your grinder has if variable speed

Hi,The turboplane is a lot easier to control, smoother in action, and it seems to leave a smother surface. With the turboplane the depth is more controlled and one cannot dig deep. With the lancelot on can possible cut deep and make deep creases. So there is a difference in application and purpose.

I have this plane and it is great. Full function of aielerons and flaps if you want them. I'm an intermediate flyer and had no trouble handling it.

This was a Mode 2. It is really "twitchy" when flying. I personally like the Blade 300X much better being a tad larger and the ability to set it up as a beginner, if needed. mCpx V2 are just two hard to fly unless you are an absolute EXPERT. Choice is yours, but me I would not buy another one. Hope this clarifies a few things.

Must be dead calm. I have a Blade SR to fly outside. A lot of fun. The mSR is pretty tricky inside and out because it's so nimble.

The one we got my son is a single blade not the double. Unfortunately it wasn't a good buy. It's the biggest of the few we have owned which was nice but we had problems almost from the start. No matter what we tried we could not get it to fly forward. On the second flight it crashed and I had to order a new tail rotor. On the very next flight it fell from flight and broke an engine gear cog. It wasn't worth fixing after that and now sits on a shelf in my sons room. Made me angry to see my sons sadness. I then got a 4 chan slightly smaller and it's been great. The bigger copters are more fun to fly but I'll get a different one next time Hope that helps.

I put the bomb drop and bomb from hobby king on mine and it doesn't affect it to much. The bomb gets flour in it so it adds a bit of weight. As with all airplanes it slows performance down. I really haven't weighed the plane with all of the extras. I have the stock power system, but you can get a bigger power plant for it.

I have to agree with D R. P. ReplicaAirguns on youtube compared the Daisy R Ryder and Marlin Cowboy. The R Ryder was much more accurate and also much easier to cock it.

I only have my butt dyno and subjective opinion, however a 4 blade prop has 33% more water surface area to grip, and that can't be a bad thing. I also added a Sting Ray hydrofoil, and my boat (21 ft Chapparal, Volvo 5.7L 280HP outdrive) has never felt better. It hole shots flatter with a skier, stays on plane at almost 500 RPM less, at the cost of maybe 1 or 2 MPH top speed. I'll take that trade every time.

I haven't, but the handle is garbage. This is not a tough piece of equipment. I have a CRKT hawk and it is awesome, I would recommend this to everyone!

If i were you i would get used to the ones youbare using and decide what direction you want to go for flight configuration... Do you want it to be quiter? Get the tri blades but then you dont have as much thrust... Get the bigger stiffer carbon fiber and you get the lift and thrist and speed but at expense of the sound. Wjat i did was get tje longer regular blades and its a mix of both. Hope that helps. Happy Thanksgiving.

Kinda... the turbo mach 3 sit higher and seem a tad unstable, but they do work. I would buy the sport blade refills next time.

I agree with Caleb's answer to this question. I own both the Champ and Mini Super Cub and both are great for new r/c flyers. Both are inexpensive and come with their own transmitter. The Champ is great for doing beginner loops and touch and goes. I learned much about flying from the Champ.

It will be a challenge. If you think you are a good 4 ch flyer and can step up to CP no problem, you are in for a treat. It is tough, and it feels like you are learning all over.That said, this is a good flying heli. And it is hard to find a less expensive rtf 450 size. The flybarless system and 6 channel makes it fairly stable.First thing to do if you get this one is turn down the elev/ail EXT pot on the receiver. There is no stick banging allowed like you can with a 4 ch.

I bought the one that was recommended on the Xplane site at the time. It has some minor issues. Check some gaming sites and ask there.

Hey Ritchie, did you ever find out? I was planning to do the same thing (check it on a flight). Thanks Raph

I've owned both. The Big Mabel is fun but less performance oriented than the Warbird. The main difference is the Mabel is basically flat underneath with the back rest extending to the edges. The Warbird angles up slightly on either side like wings and the back rest is slightly inboard. The result is that the Warbird can go ridiculously fast back and forth across the wakes while being almost impossible to catch an edge and flip. The other side of that coin is that it tend to smooth out the ramp going over the wakes and is slightly harder to get as much pop and get as airborne as the Mabel. It still will catch air over the wakes but not as much. Secondly, it definitely pulls easier than the Mabel. The Mabel loaded with passengers can feel like a boat anchor out there. On less powerfull boats this might be a factor. It certainly results in more fuel burn. Our boat is quite over powered and designed to be a towboat. After a season in the Florida Sun and humidity, we ended up tearing the skin right off the Mabel while towing. The drag of the Mabel combined with the pull of the boat resulted in failure of the nylon cover. Never had any problems with the bladders. That was the second Big Mable we had and both met their demise in the same way, by having the nylon cover pulled apart. The Warrior looks to be built a little more durable. That combined with the more hydrodynamic bottom shape should equal much longer useful life. Both are fun. Mabel pops higher and makes for some pretty spectacular wipeouts, but is not that durable. The Warrior is fun too but slides so smoothly it almost makes it too easy.

I cannot say for sure that this one is better than Pegasus--but my grandson and I agree that it is. we play more with this one than Pegasus. I hope this helps you.
