I don't really use either of these aircraft much any more, so I might as well pass them on to someone else who will.
MSH Protos 500 ($400)
- Original kit, upgraded with the MSH flybarless head
- Mikado Vbar flybarless system, with direct connected Spektrum remote receiver
- Kontronik Kora motor (for 6S 2500mah batteries)
- Castle Creations ICE 50 ESC
- Futaba S9650 digital cyclic servos
- Futaba S9257 digital tail servo
- SAB blades
- bunch of extra parts, including blades and canopies
The Protos flies well and everything works perfectly. I made sure to keep it light, which is what sets this apart from most other 500 size helis. It is a real floater.
Multiplex Gemini ($110)
- HXT900 servos all around
- Turnigy 1100kV motor with APC 11x5.5 prop
- Eflite 25 amp ESC
This plane flies great and has never had an unexpected meeting with the ground. The motor and prop combination make it a pretty powerful and fast sport plane, but the light weight means low speed handling is very easy.
