Why buy a MD-530F?

Post by Eric Bakker » Mon Feb 09, 2015 9:08 pm

Hi Guys,

I already have the B407 and I really like it.
Now we have this 'new' MD-530F, and I thought at first 'why another similar helicopter'?
I must say however that it looks gorgeous and I am very tempted to buy it, but I need a reason :)

Who can explain to me why I need to buy the MD-530F? 8-)

I enjoy Flying my 407. But I LOVE flying my MD 530F. To me it's the difference between driving a Cadillac and a Ferarri. Beautiful Aircraft to fly. 8-)

500 is far less automated than the 407, has a smaller footprint, sounds better, looks cooler and speaking from experience, the 500 is the Ferrari of the sky.

Thanks, guys!
The Ferrari comparison is new to me, I guess it means that, in helicopter-land, the MD-500 is fast and sporty, but not very comfortable :)

Well, I bought it tonight. If you see a Ferrari flashing by, it's me. :)

Does it work with P3DV2.5?

Yes it does.. Been flying it all weekend now.. My only issue is I can't get the search light to move. Other than that, this thing's a hoot! :D

I have both and find myself flying more in the 530 then the 407.
The reason for me is, that the 530 is very agile and more fun to fly.
