The arrival of yet another 450. Could this Chase be the ultimate?

You can fly 3d with any head speed , what kind of flying do you do sport, precision, smack , a low headspeed 2800-3100 or high 3200-3450

Or even crazy professional level 4000

Lol no that's over kill

I fly my forza 450 at 3600 rpm so probably will go with that range on 360 mm blades. The motor I have is the scorpion 2520-1580 KV and since there is only 18 and 19 T pinion I would like to see what headspeed I can achieve with this KV motor. I will be using Koby 70A on it.

I told myself to wait and watch how this one and the goblin compare when they come out.. but after looking at the part prices for this one I may have to hide my credit card

After seeing the goblin 380, compared to chase 360.. I think it's mostly going to be die hard goblin fans buying them unless they have highly competitive pricing.

Of course, I haven't had the goblin 380 in my hands.

On a side note.. goblin 630 may be in my future, since putting a KDE-600XF-530-G3 in my 600X I've had nothing but problems, I think the motor is too much for it. Going to get the 630 and transfer all electronics.

Here the gear ratio with 19T. Also 18T would be available.

Got a hands on with the chase today. Had a hard time giving it back to the owner.

What an amazing piece of kit this heli is. The cog is really high up in the heli and it is much lighter than I expected. And due to the dual stage belt drive, the canopy is extremely sleek and narrow. The finish on al the parts is amazing.
I wasn't really thinking about buying a smaller size heli (I own a trex 500) but I don't think I can wait for the goblin 380 vs chase 360 comparison.

as you can see, there wheren't any blades on it yet, so no flight unfortunatelly. I was able to compare it to a mcpx bl.

I think kds has made one sexy heli and launched themselves into the big league.

Edit. Unfortunately the pic turned upside down during the upload. Not able to fix that atm.

Pics do bother me but sweet! Wish someone local had one to compare my x3 with

[Jmann841]

any have the AUW's with eveything on ready for flight?

Curious to see what it comes in at. My X3 with 1200mah batteries is 1005g

From the other thread, side by side comparison.

Has been raining non-stop since Saturday, haven't had much time to get outside with them.. but more pics will come.

Yeah, it would be nice to see them side by side with the Chase in front... having it behind the x3 will make it look smaller just from perspective...

Well, I just this minute unboxed my new Chase 360. I have to admit I was chatting to myself as the box came out of the shipping cardboard, what canopy does this have? I am simply blown away! Thanks Glen for pulling this off! The canopy IS the one you designed, and it is simply beautiful.

The parts fit and finish is just outstanding. Time for a build thread with step by step instructions and tips from Glen himself. We are starting one this next week just as soon as my new servos show up for this build.

Looking forward to reading your build thread! Using the EBar?

Congrats LMH on finally getting one to build. Looking forward to your "master build" tips and techniques...
