Out of curiosity, is there a flying prototype of the 500 and 600? Even that there is no canopy but a flying frame to test? If not, is there at least a CAD of it?

I don't want to see photo, it's not my goal.

Also, why release a 700 first, don't a 600 is a more popular size?

Last question, I know I'll not get an answer but who know..... since there is a delay for the 700, can we hope that Avant decided to produce the 600 at the same time and surprise all of us in releasing both the 600 and 700 at the same time?

I'm interested in 500 size details. I am looking at goblin 500 for Black Friday and before I commit to another 550 size would be nice to know where the avant is.

As far as I know, the Goblin are excluded for the BF sale.

I just sold my 700 and bough the Goblin 500 because I wanted a true 500, but as soon as the mostro 500 will be available, I'll make the switch.

I still have my 600pro, but that one will also be replaced by the mostro 600 when available, I really like the look of the mostro.

700s seem to be the most popular size. There hasnt been any info on the 600/500 but i wouldnt expect them any time soon. End of 2014-2015 my guess on the 500

When I first started I didn't understand why companies start with a 700 but now I get it. I may be a fetus in this hobby at over 6 years flying but I think the release plan should be 700 for obvious reasons but then after you hooked the guys like me it should be 500mm, 550-600mm. The 500mm should closely follow the 700 because when I get out there on my 700 people will get excited so those without budget or desire to fly the 700 will have a size they can get into. Having said that I realize it is a statement to release from the largest sizes. I do actually need a new 550 to 600 size as I am so bored with my old 550 I lost concentration flying it and mushroom clouded it, no desire to rebuild. I want a chopper that compelled me to rebuild after a crash again and that's what I see when I look at the Mostro design.
