Centruy Swift

Are there any other Swift flyers here?

What do you have the sport verison or the Carbon 550E?

Swift 16 here. I thought about waiting for the 620se too, but instead decided on a 50 size nitro. My sig has my setup, if you are interested...

I now have two, and am seriously considering the 620E, it is just the cost of the batteries that make me hesitate. My 550E with 560mm blades on 6 cells is a real hot 3D heli as it only weighs 6 lbs 6 oz. My friends TRex 600E (the same size as the Swift 620) is 2 lbs heavier, and on 6 cells it flies like my Swift 16 does on only 4 cells. So on the 620 I would go either with an 8 cell or 10 cell configuration, and that size of battery packs hit the wallet a bit harder.

I am now mounting my sport Swift 16 into this fuselage:

I am really impressed with the detail, the fit and finish and the quality of the paint job. It even came with the retracts. I hope do have it ready by the end of february, as at this time of the year I do not seem to have the shop time I do in Feb.

I will now use my Carbon 550E for the 3D flying.

As for 50 nitro. They really perform. I find my Raven 50 flies with the power profile and with the same precise control as any 90 I have owned but costs a lot less to fly, as the 90's really eat up the fuel.

Here is an interesting video of the Swift 550:
