Status: offline 		I was refering to Ehirobo mostly. I thought they were at the proto stage and was assuming these guys are selling pre-orders. does anyone know if ehiribo actually has them in stock?

Status: offline 		I have tried setting up the heli.. but I think I have to look for really small electrics to get the heli well balanced...

Main gear : 120T
Blade length : 225mm
Main shaft diam : 3mm
tail shaft diam: 2mm
Flybar: 1.5mm
tail boom OD : 10mm
















The kit does not come with electrics. You can get the 2400Kv motor.. with the Elf 30A ESC.
lipo battery is only 85g

I tried to hover thi littel heli.. I think I have to shift the electrics position.. I am a little tail heavy... i Guess the gyro and ESC is really heavy... but I think This heli will be stable once all the parts are set correctly.

I was using the 4200KV motor.. but set the power to only 35% - 50% max.. at hovering its only 30%.. but the head speed is good enough for the heli.. increasing the power is really scary... I think the 2400Kv motor will do.. since its running at 3S already.. not like the Gaui using only 2S

Status: offline 		Nice pics and vidz soneebee. I think with this size heli, you shouldn't need an esc bigger than 15amps. I'd go for the Logictech gyro also to save weight.

Status: offline 		I saw them on ehirobo and have them in my cart already.

I got an email from CopterX that seem to indicate they are at the Pre-Order stage.

I got a very confusing email back from Ehirobo that didn't clarify weather they have them or not. Just that they have many orders in and cant confirm what the short delay may be??

Has anyone ordered one from Ehirobo and got a confirmation of shipment?

Status: offline 		Thanks windrider... yup I think it will really need small elecronics to fit it in the heli.. all the parts are hanging around.. the heli lack real space to fit in all the parts....

have tried to make some adjustments and tested to hover in.. it seems to be more stable now... a little more adjustments and ill bring it to the field this weekend.... just hope it can fly outdoors....

Status: offline 		Cool, thanks for the video. I've always felt that the canopy should be on for 99% of the test flights, only exception is after a crash to see if how much damage was done, providing is was a minor crash of course.

I ordered for and paid for a 200, I don't have confirmation of shipping. I didn't realize I was pre-ordering.

I can't wait to get started on it, I can see that I'll have to get the lightest of everything for it. It won't get a bec due to weight and the fact it probably won't need it because the servos I'll use (digital hs56mgs) are fast enough.

I don't think I'm going to use a 401 ?....Like Vic mentioned, there are lighter gyro's out there and if the HH function works good then it's a done deal.

3D that lil terror.

Yea, that would be the ultimate combo: CopterX 200 and Trex 500!!!! Once I get both, I'll find the meaning of life!!!!
