Any plans for a 700 size Protos?

[alexf1852]

Hey since Mikado is coming out with a true 700 this summer and Align has come out with a 700 electric and other nitro manufacturers are coming out with 90 size electrics, I think it's only fitting to ask if there are plans for a 700 size Protos. Run it on 2 6s 5000 mah lipos. Same exact plastic frame as the current protos except larger (taller and wider and thicker). That would be sweet and would probably be cheaper in price than what Align and others are charging or planning to charge.

I apologize in advance if no one in this forum wants to hear about a 700 size Protos.

Haha!!



We've been begging Corrado for a 550 or a 600 for years. He has no interest as far as we can tell in bigger heli's. Instead we are getting the Protos 450, which looks like a rockin 450.

Can't wait for the 450 but have a renewed interest in a 600 Protos. Willing to wait a year or more to let battery prices drop further first. The 500 and 450 give the most bang back for the $$.

Besides after looking at a 600 and 700 side by side there really is not that much of a difference. 700 seems overkill unless you really got the room to open up.

Protos 500 offers the most use out of the available sky for my field.

There is a BIG difference between a 600 and 700. Just like there is a BIG difference between a 500 and 600. That being said, I'm totally happy with my Logo 600, which is a slightly bigger then normal 600.

What about the stretch? that will be cool to play with. I would like to spin some 550's on mine. By the way I am still building mine. WOrk is getting in the way of heli time.

Corrado: Do you want to earn more money? Build Protos 550 or 600 or 650 or 700. There are too many 450.

My money is waiting on my account ...

It won't happen for a long time, I would bet money on it. I would love to see how a 600 sized Protos would look though and how it would fly. Right now it'd be very difficult to tear me away from my Logo 500. The only thing I'm giving it up for is a Henseleit, Logo 600, or Logo 700.

I would really go on the strech of a smaller heli.
Lower headspeed (pinion), same motor and batteries.
You could turn a 600 on a 700 in no time.

I'm already flying a stretched 600 and the difference is really worth every cent.
But Corrado clearly told us his point and why... of course anyone can have his opinion just like Corrado has his opinion. I would be happy with MSH 600 / 600XL / 700 or bigger...

Corrado hates me already (for my 550 jokes )

[jondabear]
