All ccpm machines have interaction and yes you can pmix it out .. My comment was simply based on squareing the swash center top and bottom and go fly... I havent even took the time to fine tune it and it flies really square
And it is VERY QUICK!!

I wonder if a straight shot cylinder devise might work better. Like a cylinder that moves in and out of a sleeve. :dontknow

I have the HFE frames with the 600XL motor and had to cut the top of the canopy for the motor to fit. Would it be worth it to go with these new frames when they come out?.....will it save much weight over the stock align frames? My HFE's come in at 6.3lbs RTF with the 9650's on the cyclic (a little weary of them on my 600 to be honest)

Jet,
you won't have to cut the canopy on this frame. I am making these frames because I was asked by many people to make a frame similar to HFE but with full size servos So I have. As for weight savings over stock I don't know will know after prototype is complete

Another masterpiece Charley!!
SWEETTTTTTT!!!!
Bobby was THRASHING Greg's T-REX at SEFF to the point of shedding a V Paddle and half a flybar. If he says this new HFX is sweet, I believe him.
Thanks guys for making a fine heli even better!!

Yeah... What's the tentative release date on these? They look very nice! Do they come with those sweet carbon control arms for the servos?

Thanks Shawn and Will !!!
The plan so far is a little more testing before releasing. But not much longer on the time frame.
So if any plan to attend Jacksonville event this up coming weekend Bobby and I plan to be there wringing out some prototypes stop by and take a look
The pictures shown earlier in earlier posts don't show all that has been done to make this thing well.... lets just say :smokin:

Well I broke mine today, 22 hours on my 600 and my first crash...not bad eh? I only broke the frame, and my gears in the torque tube, carbon boom and blades lived. I almost had it!!! Bottom plate even survived!!
BUT I need a frame, and this one loooooks sweeeeeet!!
Do you have stock replacements available right now if this is not available soon?
Thanks, Jeff

I take it most of y'all are useing the old 1.5 mil frames? How are the 2 mill? We had only 1 crash with a 600 so far over here and the frame made out alive!

I got the 2 mill but have failed to crash her yet. Had a hard auto that should have snapped something but only bent the stock skids.

Battlercon. the servos are the same dimension as a 3400 tail servo if that helps
