helicopter going in my collection that's for sure, because when I heard only the sound, I was impressed, heli earned the highest grades in my opinion!

I hope I helped

Yeah the sound is amazing, but the heli is really good.

Who is Flying?, Dario or Stefanno.:

Nice update.

The faster a belt moves around the pulley, it gets thrown off it, so to speak, and acctually has less tension on the pulley, yet is tighter in the boom.

Yes a belt's efficiency scales much better than a TT, but it doesn't create less friction with ever increasing speed. And also you are forgetting the pully guides, the belt will be thrown into them.

Impressive flight.

What head speed was it running?

crickr1 · 10-02-2012, 06:09 AM

Much better then the other video!

Any chance of possible release date???
Looking at January? or Spring???

Anxiously waiting,, need to finish my Protos collection!

Will there be a "pre-release" , "deposit", or just ,,"here it is!"

Hopefully kit w/motor, esc, brain as an option.

I guess they couldnt make the tail speed high enough without second stage on main gear... so big tail gear.

The larger the tail pulley the lower the tail rotor speed.

they dindt share it much infos... i can gues that is for now top secrec, but how I see more-less infos now leaking out, think becouse this is prototype, still being tested
I believe there will be more small changes to it and then it goes on sale

No matter how it adds up, it does add up. Another seriously cool 700. I am interested to see how the weight comes out, and how much of the design philosophy carries over from the original Protos. It also appears to me, just a visual, I guess, that they are either spinning 710's or the bird is long and low. I like it whatever the case, and I suspect it will do well in the market, with the terrific following the Protos 500 has enjoyed.

vteknical · 10-06-2012, 08:17 PM

That second flight really reminded me of why I liked my Protos 500 so much. I think it would be cool to put a wireless microphone on the heli or near the flight zone to really enhance the blade fart effect. I might consider this heli if I was in the 700 market again.

Mr dan · 10-07-2012, 09:41 PM

I love the look so far but I do have one concern with the tail assembly. Having just two small set screws holding the tail shaft to the setup seems there will be issues with tourque eventualy snapping off at that section.

Rob43 · 10-08-2012, 08:23 AM

Your motor only has one setscrew, and it's running the whole works.

Not quite sure if you understand what Im talking about, but here is a pic . Also, not sure if you own a Protos based on your reply, my Protos and the motor I use (HK 3226-900) uses four screws on the motor mount, and two set screws on the pinion, should the pinion slip as with any heli, you can auto rotate to save the heli, but should the tail fail, its over son!

As opposed to the 500 and 450 design this looks like the first area that may let go.

Are you concerned that the left CF tail spindle support will fail?
The CF looks pretty thick from here. A crash might take it out, but I doubt it would fail in flight.

What set screws are you referring to? I only see two M3 size bolts holding that piece of thick CF.

mahbouni · 10-08-2012, 01:17 PM

Most helis use a single setscrew to hold the tail hub to the tail shaft. I wouldn't be worried. I do think the tail shaft bearings look a little small and maybe we will be replacing them from time to time. Lets not forget this is still a prototype and things can change between now and next year.

drvic · 10-08-2012, 02:52 PM

somebody sed next year....

are we realy going to wait so long for p700 to come on market ...or is it going to be sooner
