      Logo 600's are pretty reasonable, but the 700 Xxtreme worried me every time I flew it due to the highly parts cost. I sold it because I just couldn't relax whilst flying it.
      This crash on the 600 cost $150 to repair excluding main blades (I had a spare set)

      The last crash I had with my TSA 600E was a hard one. I came out of it with broken blades, broken skids and a slightly bent tail boom. Total cost was $23.14 for the airframe parts and $42.50 for the blades. without my pilot discounts it would have been $30.85 for the airframe parts and $85.00 for the blades.

      I can't complain much about my Blade helis as far as crash resistance. Both of my Blade birds have held up remarkably well this first year since I began flying heli. Parts are a little pricey at times though. I'm definitely ready to graduate up to something besides Blade's RTF stuff..... even if it is an Align clone.

      Align was always cheap to repair. Most parts came with two in the packet & so it didn't take long to stock up on parts.

      It all depends on the crash.. smaller models crash better due to light weight, and the reduction of inertia... Best crash I had was on the Mini Protos.. literally picked it up and flew it again.. worse was my goblin 700, that was $400 without blades.. and the boom was fine...
