I am a new rex600e owner... so now im looking for a good practice bird.

I currently only own a Blade CP Pro, and the 600. So i would like something about a 450 size. Everyone at the field has atleast one B400... so that got me thinking of buying the Bind-and-fly 400, and getting some of my favorite zippy lipos.

I was wondering before i started ordering things... if you guys had a better suggestion than the B400? The main consideration for the B400 is its price.

You might want to consider a 425mm-blade heli as being closer in size to your 600 while still providing a step down.

I did notice the GF Trex-450S being pretty cheap... Still not that large tho..

The T-Rex 450 and the Blade 400 are the same size. They're fine helicopters (well, at least the Rex is; I have no direct experience with the Blade), but a bigger machine (like a T-Rex 500) will feel more like your 600. They're more expensive of course.
