Not for very long, but after HC put a girl scout program on it with way lower AFR's but the same S-Curve.... and...
HOLY CRAP Batman!!! That 550 is INSANE. I was instantly hooked, I will be buying one as soon as they are out. Man what an awesome and super light flying powerful machine. SWEET!! Thanks for letting me fly it HC!!

I should probably check out the Outrage forums as I have no idea what the 550 is. C'mon Will, spill the beans. Is this the .30 sized electric I've been waiting for?:)

lots of pictures and info on it in the outrage-tuning.com blog, including videos if you want a one stop shop for info.

Ok, Outrage-tuning has plenty of pics, but ZERO hard data. (As of yet)
Nevermind, found the thread here w/ all the info.
And yes, it IS .30 sized!!!! WOOT!
I was just going to post about the limited choices in the .30 size electric class but it looks like this one's going to top them all.
On that note, how does the Outrage stack up to it's competition? (Raptor 550, Swift Carbon 550, and Gaui Hurricane)

the only people who have got them are the sponsored pilots, so the only info you are going to get on this is from people who flew HCs machine or the Team Outrage pilots themselves.
The prototype in the UK hasn't flown yet, so I can't offer any further info until we have it running. The pertinent facts are it's 30 sized, runs on a 6S 5000 (ish) pack, the motor being used by the team is a Z-power Z30 and all up weight is around 6 pounds. Anything further can be gleaned from the pictures, like programmable head etc etc
Wait wait HC is sponsored???!!?! Why ? Look at his terrible flying he can't even keep the heli level and straight !!! Welcome to the the rage Will.

I shot some video on Saturday of the 550 flying. It is a HOT machine and I was very impressed. Large size,(HEY!! I can see it!!) cheap cost. Fly's AWESOME!! As soon as I finish my real job work, I'll get to the video, sorry for the delay. Did I mention that I hate D-BASE 4 custom applications trying to print and Vista together..... :DOH
