Had to buy something at the show and since everyone I know has an electric heli figured I should get one too. Just wanted a cheapo RTF type but came across this at the WRAM show. Read some good things about the regular Belt CP so when I saw the all carbon/aluminum version I jumped on it. This one doesn't include any electronics or motor but is still a killer deal. I paid $180 for it at the show. Everywhere else I see it it's going for $280 so I feel pretty good about the deal. Here's the only pics I could find of it. I'll upload pics of mine when I get home.

PICTURES!!

That's one hell of a deal for a blinged out heli like that.

Pics.

Btw, if anyone out there has one of these could you give me some info on your setup? I bought the Align motor for it but I've just read that it may not work due to servo arm interference. If this is the case I'd appreciate finding out what to put in this thing. The instructions are absolutley worthless. They're for the RTF version and have no detail.

MAN that was fast... i got thebox for that one when mine came in i was like HOLY did they skrew up,, but nope stocker,, seeing this is good timing,, was wondering how the centering is on that hub,, mine seems to blind a bit.. also has some play around the main shaft and if you twist the fly bar.. on a side note the pitch swash i had to make it -70.. i knew it was only a matter of time some one gets one,, doh! my batts should get here tomarrow YEAAA

JeeUm.. that thing is sick looking, but it also looks like one small slip and you have LOTS of fibers laying around.

LOTS!!

I'm about ready to tear my hair out with this. Trying to setup 120 swash and I just can't figure it out on my 14. ARRRRRGFGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't find the swash type or the servos are not cooperating?

i dunno how that radio works but i had to select the swash mode from holding bottons down and powering on, as a airplane/ sail plane/ heli mode seletion shows up then, but that on hitec ,, once you get it ch 2 will be negeitive of ch 1 and 6, good luck,

I don't think I'm meant to fly this heli. The charger that I ordered was mixed up with some dudes order from England. Instead of a charger, I've got a 4s 6800mah lipoy sitting here that I have to send back before they'll send the charger.

Now my Gyro seems to be lost in limbo also. I was really hoping to have this heli in the air this weekend. Guess not. Once again I think this is gods way of telling me I'm not meant for anything electric.

Face it Jeeum, electrics hate you. They can tell the mere sight of them makes you cringe, and they take advantage of you. In fact, Electrics OWN you. Man up beatch and show that electric heli who's boss!!!!!!!!!!

Just hovered it a bit in the garage. I totally screwed up my pitch curves when Andrew explained exactley how to set up the swash. Will dial it in a little more tomorrow.

I'm not doing much with it right now, it's only got HS 55's, a $15 Chinese knock off micro digi for the TR and a no name gyro. Will wait for my futaba equipment before really getting this thing going.

So far, it did feel pretty solid in a hover. Got a good 8 minutes out of it.

One thing I did notice though, I think my main shaft is bent from the factory. It's got a bit of a wobble to it when looking at the head button.

glad you got to hop it finally,, the nice thing parts are cheap.. i got mine fixed and the weather has been nasty... waht ever ya do dont land to hard, hehehe the ball lik onthe blade grips break easy,, tho i dont know how the metal ones hold up, that a next step...

Don't go by the head button. Rotate it and look at the swash for side to side movment, or disassemble it and roll it on a piece of glass or granite counter top.
