New Trex frame?

[eheliflyer]

Hey Charley,
Are you working on a G5 frame? If you are do we get any sneek peeks?
By the way I love how my G4 flies. It flys better than any of my other trexs

LOL :D Right Now I don't think there will be a G5 but you never know
but I do know is I have been flying this around for some time now....
Heres a little story
Originally G4 was suppose to be all belt drive but later on I decided to make it use align gears for fear no one would want to invest in the all belt drive heli frame kit due to X $$$ amount.

A while back I posted an original G4 picture on RC Groups which I can't seem to find may have to take a new picture may do it any ways because there is an actual frame size difference between it and todays G4 and would like to show comparison :badair: well any way here is some photos of V2 All belt drive heli.
If I decide to make some kits. It will require you to put this on your existing G4 frame. Some cool features are heli drops in sound by about 40db+ You will notice when flying and the heli is just a short bit away it is very quite, to the point you don't here anything. BIG BONUS when you crash you don't waste main gears anymore :thumbup: belt either pops off or you chicken dance in addition it no longer has a driven tail so Baby autos can be achieved :thumbs-up2: Down side is you gain about 10 grams in weight due to extra bearings required.

Here is something that would be real cool is if we could conVince :wink: some blade MFG to make some prototype mainblades in the 340 to 350mm range as there is room to mount these bad boys :smokin:

Charley has been flying it for a while now and it is pretty sweet. It almost sounds like a wimp with low head speed it is so quiet.

Charley what is the size difference in frames?

[Rotorworkz]

Charley what is the size difference in frames?

Well in originall design the frame is about 10-15% larger in general size after messing with the cad I was able to bring the frame down to the size you have now the belt drive version is just a tad taller

A larger G4 frame would be awsome. I want the larger frame with the belt drive. Now that would be the best Trex.:noteworthy

:noteworthy :noteworthy I am not worthy !! :noteworthy :noteworthy :noteworthy


Actually.. :smokin: That V2 belt drive looks great.

I just noticed that not only are you running the tail belt but also one off the MAIN GEAR to the motor pinion ! :shock: :idea: :glasses: :mrgreen:

Wow !! :noteworthy

[K.Lund]

Now that is a must have upgrade for my g4 :twisted: Do you have a tentative date or time frame for its release? Keith

The suspense is killing me :bomb: :arggg: :twisted:

[SteveK]

OK Charley, quit holding out on the G5 or G4V2BD (for belt drive). There are a lot of willing beta testers with itchy PayPal fingers just waiting to do their thing.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :arggg: :dontknow :noteworthy
