I have to diagree here, mind tore very easy at two different spots and I haven't even flown with it yet.

So now there's no hope of it staying on for an entire flight, I guess.
(sorry, we saw the video)

I think you mean the current Protos canopy tore whereas I was recommending a change to PET which is much tougher and extremely hard to tear.

have they been able to make a one piece lexan canopy? the two piece canopies are so cheep looking.
the Protos canopies that I have are pretty durable, I wounder if MSH had a bunch of thin ones go out. I tried to tear the one I have...I deformed it a little but couldn't tear it.

I agree, I don't like two-part canopies either. As one possible good example, as far as I can tell the Phazor 600 polycarbonate canopy is one piece: http://www.gohbee.com/Merchant2/merc...gory_Code=1275
So it can be done.

So, how do you guys like the Protos, after been flying/crashing it for a while?

[akshaw]

I only have 7 flights on it, but so far I'm loving how this thing flies. I'm sure I would say the same about a trex 500, but I'm really happy I don't need to weight it down as much with batteries. It's got an incredibly light smooth yet responsive feel to it.

I have 60 flights on mine and two crashes. On crash cost me £75 ($150) but th eother was just a mainshaft and some repaired plastic.

I love it and I do think it is fast/powerful. I am only running about 11/11 but about 8 on cyclic with 1/2 weights in the paddles. This works well for me since it is stable enough but rolls/flips fast enough for me too. I fly at just over 2500hs and get 5 minutes on a 2100 6s pack.

Take care,

goddd damnnn
i saw this tthing fly today and its realll impressive.

we didnt know they kit included the 15tooth pinion for 6s, and we were flying 5s intended for the 18tooth pinion which wasnt included. power was lacking and we were stumped. we threw in a 6s and holeyyyy shitttttt, this things got more power/snap/agility than anything ive seen or flown.

everyone check your pinions included. we assumed it included the 5s pinion, but it had the 6s one included instead.
