Hello All,
I wanted to take this time to show you a new frame i designed and just had cut for the trex600. I designed this frame with AP in mind, and it has the option to attach the AP mount i designed to the front of the heli, or it can be used as a replacement upgrade frame for the 600.

The frame features the ability to mount the motor both above or below the main gear. Also in either configuration any standard trex600 servos can be used. When the motor is mounted in the upper config the servos sit about 2" forward of their defualt location.

Some of you may have seen other newly released frames that allow top mounted motors, the interesting thing is how different all the designs are.

Let me know what you all think. I will post pics with the camera mount attachment as soon as i get the mount back from the cutters.

Ahhh... Well thats coming soon... I'll post some pics here as soon as i get my pieces cut.
My mount bolts to the front of the frame. Its has 3 axis control with 2 of the axis(tilt and roll) gyro stabilized

I am a little concered about wieght with the new mount. the new mount has 3 servos compaired to the 1 in my old mount and since im using a sony R1 extra wieght could become a problem.
