Axe cp, mini or micro?
Ive been looking at pics of smaller electric helis, and i have the AXE CP and it looks much more beefy/stout then pretty much all the other "micro", but Tower classifies it as a micro. What do they use to distinguish a mini from a micro?

RE: Axe cp, mini or micro?
There are some newer heli's coming out now that defy (what I thought) was conventionally the difference. Aside from just slightly smaller size, micro's use a separate motor to power the tail, where mini's use either a belt or shaft to draw power for the tail from the main motor. The Axe, in my opinion, looks beefier because of the it's full frame. To me, it's a lot more attractive than the Blade CP and Honeybee King and stuff that look like a bunch of sticks with a rotor on top.
Anymore, from reading specs and stuff of various heli's, it seems that the only distinguishing characteristic that all the 'micros' share is a main rotor diameter of 20.75" or less.

It goes...
Mini- 24" rotor and up to 40"
Micro-16" to 23"
Sub_Micro-10" to 15"
Nano- anything under ten inches
.30-.90 is standard
This is how Id put it...
