Well deciding to stretch my 450 pro v2 was one of the best decisions ever made !
FLOWN a 450,480,500,550,600
You  wanna get the feel n performance of all the helis above get a 480 size bird or stretch ur existing 450 size bird
SETUP
450 with stretch parts and all upgrades dual push tail slider
NTM 1700kv 6s Motor
CASTLE 50 ICE ESC
TURNIGY tgy306 HV SERVOS
AVIONIC X5 fbl
1300mah 6s 35C battries
EDGE 353mm BLADES
13degree +- pitch

PERFORMANCE
Well this heli delivers the punch needed more than enough for your  sport flying and extreme 3d
ITS very agile and feels light
along with being agile its also very stable too due to increased rotor disc
Currently running normal mode at 1600rpm and 3d at 3100rpm

yes u heard tht right 1600 rpm which was never possible before on a 450 (collective management skills required )
but 1800rpm is the sweet spot for scale flying it just flies smooth and stable
Increased blade size means u can get the same performance of ur 450 at lower rpms which equals to longer flight times with the 6s setup
1600-2000 rpms were only possible on 600 n above now u have it on a 480 

if you are a sport flier hit it at 2500 rpm just sit back n relax through a 6 min flight  ....it flies really big like a 600 big loops are a ease with this size

3D FLIGHT
Having the opportunity to fly a 600 just after flying my 480 was great to tell u the fact i dint feel any difference in handling it just felt as if i was flying the 480 that helped me to try different stuff on the 600 after only 3 flights ...the difference between both was just size ...flight characteristics were the same stable n agile ...power between both felt the same too yeah am not kidding on this one
WELL 2800-2900rpm is also good enough for 3D
I run 3100 CAUSE am crazy 

WHATS NEEDED TO STRETCH A EXISTING 450
assuming u have a 6s setup all u need will be blades 350-360mm ,extended boom and TT or BELT available from tarot or alzrc now even align has them
IF U DONT HAVE A 6s setup
ull need a 6s motor esc battery ,blades , booms and tt belt

if u wanna know n feel how does a 600 or 700 or 550 flies n feels this is one affordable option but 6s setup is a must for optimal performace or u can go 4s too dont dare try it on 3s ur batteries will die in just few flights

NOw ppl cosidering to go in for a 450 size bird i recommend going for the 480 size an pls pls dont end up buying a clone unless its alzrc...kits now available 480 size
compass warp 360(highly recommended)299$,gaui x3 209$,alzrc devil 480 229$,align 450l dominator ,msh mini protos stretch
yes the kits are costly but u getting wat u paying for that is quality and really good quality compared to the hk 450gt and tarot clones 

FLY big on a small scale
SIze does not matter always 

nice , i was waiting for 480 review from you as i have seen your 480 video..

Please give a link to video shannon. We all want to see the heli pro flying

Hmm I'll get a video soon enough..... I tried last time but space was full so dint get recorded 

we want on board cam

not possible on this bird

do align, tarot and alzrc come out from the same factory and i have heard that their build quality are pretty same. So in that way tarot and alzrc are bastard sons .

Anyways shannon which radio are you using.

no i have owned parts of both the quality of alzrc is far superior then tarot ....there is drop in tarots quality also alzrc cost more due to better quality ....still on my spectrum dx6i

Very nice review Shannon , Totally agreed !!! converting to 480 should be a big boost to performance and yeah 6s. I will be converting to 480 for sure now . Already my 450 blades , boom etc spare are almost finished. So now its time for 480 hehe . Already ordered 6s stuff from Hk . Will order 480 conversion stuff from rc711.com ASAP . But its a pain getting 360mm blades from outside . Hope some LHS stocks them.

With your EDGE blades, the performance should be mindblowing. Upload a Some pics and video of your bird Shannon.

Also converting to 480 needs long tail Blades or something ?

this should be fine for 480

Yeah Avesh that will work but looking for more brands

Cheapest is alzrc blades from rc711 21$ 360mm  they are good... Btw u can also run stock 325 mm blades on a stretch.... Don't buy branded blades till u know ur good enough n don't crash alot

btw alzrc has a 480 covertion kit for 79 $ available on rc711.com

oh 79$$ ! quite expensive than what I thought . Lemme check it out

ya it has got frames and goblin style body too
