Yep!
The RCT-Diablo and RCT-SkyShark are slated to be released beginning this week, actually.
A couple key features you should be looking at are:
* Overslung flybar design that offers a change to the Align underslung flybar design. Personally I've noticed a crisper feel to my collective and an enhanced roll rate. It's been speculated that because the main blades are closer to the CG of the heli, the roll rate is naturally enhanced. Flight performance suggests that this is true.
* Servo tower mounting scheme. Aile and Pitch servos are now mounted on a servo tower, rather than recessed into the frame (like on a T-Rex). This provides a huge convenience benefit in that servo removal/repair is a breeze and takes a couple seconds rather than several minutes and a lot of patience.
* Upper motor mount. Rather than having the motor below the motor mount and inside the frame, it is now above the motor mount. Frees up a lot of room and provides for much tidier electronics placement. As a result, the CG is moved up closer to the tail-boom level which is beneficial for 3D.
I just finished encoding this video of the prototype in action, actually: http://www.rc-tek.com/arclite5/Video/Diablo/Diablo2.WMV :smokin:
