Don't think i'd agree with you there TIP?

I know the Beta consumes less fuel, but what about the power loss!?

Unless you've a large area to play with/ or even hard ground for running take-off, you could be very limited into what you could lift!?

Fill a Beta 2 with 3 hours endurance and 2 regular fellas, you'll be able to hover at 23" and take-off comfortably, but try that in a Beta, and you'll have problems!

Didn't think there was much difference, but i once had 2 of us on board, 2 an a half endurance, and couldn't lift over a 5ft boundary wall, just little snippets like that could be easily avoided with the little extra power don't you think????
