Which 450/500 clone.

[animal47]

I know this would have been asked umpteen times before but I know that certain brands improve all the time so what is currently a decent clone.

Not worried about electrics as only want the airframe for now as I will probably just get used decent brand electrics. I have read before that certain models are to be avoided due to some of the parts having non compatibility with align etc.

Any suggestions, not in a hurry so buying from hk is fine.

No idea on cost, it will just cost what it costs if you know what I mean.

I am in no rush, I just want to enjoy the build and learn as I go along, things will get done as funds and parts become available.

I was looking at the blade 450 but I have now decided I want to do a cheap 450/500 build from scratch and then in a few months I intend to buy a raptor 30/50.
