How's the testing going with these new frames? I like the idea behind them especially if they allow me to use my HSC=5997TG servos... and gotta love the break-away canopy bar area! When when and when? :D

I think i'd like the black cf personally.
Can you mount your batteries higher with this frame. I wouldn't like the CG being lowered by the batteries?

Enjoy!

Epc2, soon very soon
Anthony, I will cut a set next. As I have some new silver CF similar pattern to align to show off. So..... I guess I will break down and buy me some Silver frames. I always end up not cutting myself CF frames My HFE is still prototype G10

These can not come quick enough, I am tired of the stockers and their tendacy to throw the lipo off board with the shelf a hundred yards away from the crash scene, lol. I need these frames in the very worst way, I hope they are available VERY soon. :dontknow :smokin:
