Looks like another gasser ... perhaps a new engine for the 50 size?

[James Kovach]

I can tell you that is definitely NOT a 50 size gasser

[RMG2]

Okay James..., "spill it"!

Whatever it is, it kicks butt!

That video is pretty amazing huh!

[Rodney]

Well it is a Radical airframe. Not sure what the powerplant is yet, but sounds like a YS56

[JustPlaneChris]

There is no smoke, so it ain't nitro. Maybe it's an electric with a fake engine noise generator!

[RAV50]

Definitely a gasser - but that can't be a Zenoah engine!

That tail boom looks a lot longer then that of the Radikal. More like the size of the large Predator?

Could it be a Radikal designed for 720mm blades and a larger engine?

[Rodney]

What makes you think its not Ze powered?

[MAXHSHV]

I heard a rumor of a new radical based 90 size gasser coming out, so thats my guess, all you would need to do is take a hd version and install a longer boom and a bigger motor.

I have never heard a Zenoah rev or sound like that.

If it is a Ze, it certainly has been reworked BIG time.

Whatever motor it is, it is super impressive.

As the title says, it seems to be a new one called the Teaser <G>

[t2o]

Is there a Flybar on that thing?

One thing is for sure, that heli outperforms my Predator Max 90 (OS C-Spec on 15% nitro) in every way.

If I can have that kind of performance, at $5 dollars a Gallon, I am in for sure. Heck... I was in with the Radkal but the funds hadn't arrived yet, now I may just have to wait and see what comes of this.

More on this please!

i've never been a fan of gassers but this one looks promising.

[BobbySmith]

[gramey]

Sparx & Rodney, possibly more so Rodney, obviously know more than they are letting on but may I just ask one question. I don't need to know what it is but I would like to know is when details are likely to be available?

I'm looking at having a bit of a wholesale change in my heli's and I don't want to find myself in the position of having dumped a load of money on a heli if there's something better in the pipeline.

[Rodney]

Well I wish I knew as I am still guessing as to what it is myself. I know it is a Radical style boom and tailbox as I own one of those. I know I was told there are factory painted canopies coming for the radical and the paint scheme is not based off the sticker package at all.
Other than that your guess is as good as mine. Hell I rep for them everyday as my phone has been ringing off the hook with questions about gassers and yet I am still in the dark, not on the darkside I guess. LOL
For those of you the remember the DarkSide.

I remember, many years ago in the RR forum, those who flew Century birds where considered "the darkside". Is that what you are refering to?

But even before that, in the early 80's, those who moved from flying planks to flying helis where considered as having crossed over to the darkside.

[Rodney]

Yes GyroAl the century Darkside is what I am refering too. There are so many new pilots in the hobby didnt know if any of them remember. And by new I man 5 years or less.
