Tensor-where?
Hello guys,
I am ready to jump in on this 3d stuff and I really like the Tensor. Ithink that this is the plane that won this years etoc. I want to get one and I know that Horizon is out with it .Can any one put me on to a store that is selling them. I wouls appreciate it .
Thanks
Rich

Hi Rich,
The Tensor is not available yet. I would recommend pre-ordering it from Horizon Hobby like I did since they will fill the orders based upon date.
The Tensor 4D is a new design from George Hicks. I'm sure that he'll be flying it this year in Toledo. It may even be equipped with the collective pitch adapter from Hobby Lobby.

Greg,
I just read about the collective mod in FLY RC. That is going to open up a whole new ball game. The picture showed the guy hovering nose down from about 70 feet.
I am going to give horizon a call and see if I can get on the waiting list.
What about Chip Hydes new one. Has any one flown that one yet?

Rich,
With the collective pitch adapter, your motor runs at a constant speed and the throttle channel changes the pitch + or - from the neutral center position. This should have some great benefits for reducing torque as the motor spins up since it is kept at a constant speed by the ESC.
Keep in mind that this new adapter will also require a computer radio and ESC that has a heli mode.

Greg,
I hace a 9c heli. That is what I fly...heli's. I have flown slabs for about 25 years and got into the helis about 1 1/2 years ago. I still have my airplanes ,I have a Harries that I am waiting on servos on. The little 3d foamyes are intriguing and looks like they are a lot of fun.
