Gaui X2

[P.I.Engineer]

is the X2 going to be a reality? I'm waiting patiently and hoping for a fes/beastx combo.

[lazor 22]

Isn't the X2 the same as the 255?

[P.I.Engineer]

i'm want a fes combo, i'm done with flybars

[fusionsx00]

The 255 fes will be released at the end of april, came from a good source

[P.I.Engineer]

that's what i'd been thinking, just wait through april.

thanks, haven't heard much about the x7 lately either.

Here is my x2 (200 size)
The new fbl head,the bobby watts tail is on order, im running the 4800kv motor on 3s

I'm about to buy a 255 and make it fbl. Will be a nice little "X2". Got a Castle 25 on the way and already have a fbl unit (uRondo).

My local hobby shop takes pre-orders on Gaui X2 (the flybared version).

Yup looks just like the 255, with all the upgrades,

I was talking to the owner of my lhs, he said he is disapointed in gaui for using the "x"
Brand on these other helis

He said the x5 was meant to be the end all, ultimate heli, and its pretty dam close
The main focus was low part count and high power to weight ratio.
I'm tempted to make a 2 peice main frame set for my 255, cut the parts count in half,
But its gona take a lot of machining, maybe when it gets to hot to fly here in phx, ill make all the cnc programs, ill basiclly scale down the x5 frame, and use some of the 255 parts
I still need to find a power house of a motor.
Like 400 watts, 3600kv, 4s

I am kinda disapointed that gaui went the bling route, instead of designing a whole new machine that would kick every other helis ass

[lazor 22]

The 255 seems reallly low parts count to me, I MUCH prefer the design over the T-Rex 250 I had.

[fusionsx00]

Not comparred to the x5

The x5 has 2 frame sides that's it, the 255 has6

[lazor 22]

I know, the 3 piece frame is kinda odd... But I really like the placement of servos, and prefer it to the way the 200/250's are.

I've found the 255 frame to be quite robust once the frame stiffeners went in. It has hit the ground many times and so far the frame has held up to the punishment. Me I'm waiting for the X4 to be released more widely.

[fusionsx00]

The pitchup.com x4 will never be released widely,,,

Gaui is makeing there own x4, from what I've heard its a x5
spinning 425 blades, shorter boom, and of course the head
I have the gaui x4 fes head on my" x4"
only thing my heli doesn't have is the servo setup, but its identical to the x4 from pitch up

+1 I got the frame stiffeners, feels really nice. Without it I could see breaking that area alot.

[fusionsx00]

Frame stiffeners?

Can someone post a pic?
