What's your idle at?

I did put the arms on the bottom. It allows a better geometry indeed and a setup as per Ron. It is tight under the canopy though and this setup may lead in a wide open carb in a crash (link is exposed and in the way it would open the carb).

I've been so into the heli and flying it that I haven't worked out where to connect a throttle return spring yet. That'll be a winter project... after I choose and build another bigger nitro heli

[RontaryUS]

Yes, less options than a 700 for a return spring...have not figured out yet. The throttle arm would still be exposed anyways and potentially push the carb open. I guess we have to keep the ratio crash/flying time as low as we can! I believe it is still worth it putting the arm this way, geometry is 10x better...

Don't want to hijack my own thread but for your winter project, look at the Synergy N7, looks great! I am still looking at a 600 size nitro with direct servo to swash (no bell crank)...

[jclutch]

I've been looking at the N7 and it's awesome! But I'm also in the market for a good quality nitro 600 sized heli, a 700 seems a bit much for me right now as far as the size of it. I like the N5C, but like you I don't want to deal with bell-cranks. The only other high quality 600 out would be the Fury 55 and I don't care for the layout. Probably gonna be the N7 when it comes out unless something like a Kasama Srimok 55 is announced

Very happy with my fury55, got 2 of them, one is setup for night flying
