megotroulette · 03-17-2006, 08:04 PM

ooooookkkkkk... that looks different ......

reports!!! whats it fly like?, what are the part prices? and what does the kit cost? and what does the canopy look like?, a miniaturised fury extreme one or something?

Cheers,
matt

Easy matty, take a deep breath.

Carey, does this mean that it will have a modular type power train so we can have it as an electric but have a second power system to convert to a nitro perhaps at the field?

You had me at "belt drive". "tear"

Dang, me likey. Wowsers, something the same size size as a raptor, but without all of the slop.

More details...I NEED MORE DETAILS

!! Close ups, flying pics, flying reports, VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO and last but most important of all, a link to a pre-order list. Now if I can just find a YS 50 somewhere my life will be complete.

Well it looks great, but I see one thing I don't like right now.

I really don't care for the direct swash linkages.
I see a whole lot of interaction issues with that setup IMO and the servos are going to be more easily damaged.

I guess we shall see when a few people get to test fly one.

I really like the belt drive and the modular design.

I understand what your are suggesting, but I don't know the answer. Stay tuned as Tim releases more information.

WayneBrown · 03-18-2006, 07:14 AM

Tim Schoonard stated that the street price of the machine will be around $600, and it should be mid summer at the earliest before kits are ready to organize.
Target weight is 7 lbs with powerplant and canopy.
I've taken detailed photos, but I left my laptop and camera at the field while I stayed in a hotel, sorry guys.. pics will be later.
The machine has a primary belt drive, and a belt driven tail, and overall the kit assembly looks like a jeweller designed it. Very neat, clean and logical.

Laurens · 03-18-2006, 02:53 PM

That looks strange.... Why did you make the CG that low? Take a look at the 3DNT/3DMP head, you might be able to make a much lower heli that way.

freddyferris · 03-18-2006, 03:33 PM

Well it aint a beauty queen but well hope it'll be covered by a nice Fury like canopy and that thing's gonna be a beast

Fred

WillJames · 03-19-2006, 10:09 AM

Here are some pics I snapped at B-HAM. Cool new design, can't wait to get mine in Electric!!.

freddyferris · 03-19-2006, 11:25 AM

I believe the first Furies were 50 size. A bit on the heavy side though for a 50.

It is going to be a bitch to try to route the wiring nicely. (Unlike the mess in the pictures)

I've seen worse!

They made it ugly so it won't be affected by gravity :wink:

mevigavant · 03-19-2006, 03:26 PM

I'm sure the final production version will be much different. It could be lighter if they got rid of the flybar cage and used smaller blade grips. I wonder what the canopy will look like?

Laurens · 03-19-2006, 03:45 PM

I hope just like the fury/stratus.

WillJames · 03-19-2006, 04:28 PM

There is goign to be a new head block, but with the power we are running these days the Extreme grips and a HD carrier are definitely needed.

This new machine will be shown at Toledo in Glow 50, 91 and Electric Versions.

WillJames · 03-19-2006, 04:49 PM

Also, no more collets on the fan for you glow guys! This new fan is a lot lower mass and a lot different in how it mounts. Gotta love that!!
