Well I got hold of the new Copter X 200 proto...
never knew it will come in a really small box..
The Heli is housed in a long small box 16.5 X 4 X 3 inches
inside this long box are 2 small ones that contain the kit parts.
The smaller box contains the canopy, screws, velcro strap, tie wraps and some double adhesive tape.
the larger box contains the metal parts
The Copter X 200 Main frame is made out of aluminum. The aluminum frame has 2 parts. The upper and lower frame. Both are fastened with aluminum blocks. and are fully anodized with gun black color. The blocks are anodized blue aluminum. The frame is sturdy and thicker than the ones used on the CopterX 450 AE. ( 1.1mm thick to be exact ), similar to the new CopterX 450SE CF V2 frames thickness.
The Cyclic sevos are mounted 120° apart and is directly linked to the swash plate (CCPM).. Kinda reminds me of the HDX design on servo location
The head design is similar to its larger brother.. made smaller... it has a different cage design. but mixing seems to be the identical..
The tail case assembly is also all aluminum.. a smaller version of its big brother.
The pulley is made out of plastic.. and the tail shaft is really thin.. only 2mm diameter wow this should not hit the ground or bye bye tail shaft...
The Belt is directly linked to the main gear similar to the dragonus with a bearing guide to center the belt and aligned to the tail boom.
The Copter X 200 is alittle easy to assemble.. its no different in assembly from its big brother. Head is almost identical setting up the mixing arms and controls will be not of a problem
Looking at this heli with its bigger brother.. you can see how small it is...
its light weight and very sturdy structure seems to be a real turn on.
cons:
* well it comes with plastic blades. not sure why CF was not part of it. But ill try to ask if the production class will have CF's or woodies.
* canopy looks strange. It does not resemble its big brother, it looks more like a BELTCP.
* tail rudder servo is mounted on the back of the frame. It seems to share the design of the dragonus on this. I would try to request that they replace the position and make it a tail boom mounted one.
