been going back and forth on this for a bit. looking at the iFlight Nazgul Evoque and the Diatone Roma F5 and on paper they seem pretty close but the price difference is kind of annoying and im not sure if iFlight is actually worth it or if im just paying for marketing at that point

currently running a custom build on a old Armattan frame and its been rock solid so i know what a good frame feels like, this would be more of a second quad situation, want something already put together that i can just flash and go basically. mostly park freestyle, occasional light cruising, not racing

the Nazgul uses the XING2 motors which i have opinions about, had one of those on a previous build and it felt fine but nothing that blew me away. Diatone uses their own Mamba stuff which i have less experience with. anyone actually run both back to back or am i just overthinking a decision that doesnt matter that much at this price range

ran a Nazgul Evoque for about four months before i sold it. its a solid quad out of the box, didnt have to do much to get it flying well, the tune was actually acceptable which is not something i say lightly about prebuilts. frame took some hits and held up fine. the XING2s are not exciting motors but theyre consistent, never lost one and i fly pretty aggressively

never personally flown the Roma F5 so cant do a direct comparison but i know a couple guys at my field who have them and nobody has complained loudly enough for me to remember, which is usually a good sign

for park freestyle either one is probably fine if im being honest. the Armattan background means you know what a properly stiff frame is supposed to feel like so youll notice if somethings flexing weird but i dont think youll have that problem with either of these

i feel like iFlight has better support documentation and their Facebook group actually has people who respond which sounds dumb but when something goes wrong at 10pm before a fly day it matters. Diatone's english resources are kind of hit or miss in my experience. small thing but worth mentioning
