Show us your kyosho heli pics!

This would be a cool subject to talk about to start off this subforum.

Here are some of mine, past and present:

The Caliber 30, the heli that thought me how to fly:

And the Caliber 5, my newest addition for the 2007 Dutch 3D competition:

Since I was one of the ones asking for a Kyosho forum, here are some of mine. I am still new to the hobby, only flying for about 3 weeks so mine are all static pictures on my friends RX7. If I can get out today or tomorrow I will take some in the air.
As you can see I still have the training gear I made on the heli. The US $6 I invested in dowels and tennis balls has saved me a lot of cash so far.
I like the CAL5, I wonder why more people do not fly them.

Kyosho forum on Helifreak. Great.

[BarracudaHockey]

My Concept 46, nixed it on Ebay when parts became scarce.

[Laurens]

What modifications did you do on that right C5 Kiwiflyer?

[kiwiflyer]

It's a Caliber 3 with painted canopy.

[Helik]

Hello all I am new to this forum. It is great to see another Kyosho thread out there on the net.

Beautiful choppers, those Kyoshos. I like that the electrics have double gear reduction, so they don't need the tiny canopies that most other choppers have.

If only Kyosho were more popular in the USA.

[Laurens]

Popularity isn't something I'm looking for when I select a new heli. If there are any problems with a heli they'll be easy to solve if you look at other heli's with the same kind of construction.

I got a brand new Caliber 3 just before Christmas. Here are some of my pics.

[Laurens]

Looks great! Do you like it?

[kevinator9]

Yea! It was a breeze to setup (except for the 9c. That was hard). Although the clutch broke twice! But it's all up and running now.

[HeliEdje]

something else, quite rare i think

BTW last week I redid the wiring. Much better now (no pics yet)

[Laurens]

Isn't that one selling with stock electronics Ed?

[HeliEdje]

Nope. Just with a stock brushed motor. I upgraded it to a brushless Mega motor and a alloy head. Here's the original specs:

I have a Concept 30, new and unbuilt in the box yet... I pulled the box out yesterday and looked at the blades and boom. Man this thing looks big after getting used to the TRex450!

[heli-cuzz]

Ok, I'll try again. Here's me and my Caliber5

[heli-cuzz]

A couple of pics with Blade fx

ErichF.
That Cal90 looks just fantastic, what is the price of something like that?
I have a Cal 3 and a Cal 30 awaitng the totalling of the 3.
When I can say I have learned to fly helis I really would like a Cal 90.
Actually I have sworn never to buy Kyosho again, but looking at your pics have tempted me. That black and gold looks just awesome, and the mechanics too.

[ErichF]

Thanks Finn,

The C90 is the flagship Kyosho bird, one of the top three competition machines in the world. They can be had for around $2600USD, but you can get lucky like me and locate a kit from a private individual. I got mine NIB from a guy here in FL for $2000. Some Japanese shops may also have good deals on one.

There isn't really anything you need to do to the machine, as there are no upgrades. If you're interested, I have a Caliber 90 Build thread over on Runryder's Kyosho forum with all the pics.

Cheers,
