Thanks for your posts. They've been helpful!
I've used most of the same items on your puch list in order to narrow it down to my best fit choice.
Safety record, crash worthy, storage, fun to fly, etc..
I've narrowed it down to the 500E and mainly chose the E for it being the newer for the 500's.
Are there any 500 drivers out there that would like to share your thoughts, good bad and ugly about the bird your flying?
Thanks again!!!!
