Very nice!
I don't see a strap on the gas generator. How is it supported? What's your final weight ready-to-fly with no fuel? I like the rear facing turbine.

Go, go, go!!!  I love to see "product diversification" for turbine heli.  The backward engine installation is very nice looking. I will see some more details in the link........ |

I love all the "features" that you make for this great kit! Moreover, your heli base and fuel tank mounts are lighter than my cnc aluminum ones. I believe the cost will also be lower!? This is a competitive advantage for customers. By the way, just a question...... What is the flying weight (without fuel) for this great heli? |

with all metal HV servos, 3800 mah LiFE rx pack, 4000 mah LiPo, 3 telemetry sensors/wiring, onboard data terminal, and Radix 710mm FAI blades it weights 14lbs 4oz with no fuel
today was first flight with this final config. Once I get it settled and tuned a bit I'll take it out to the field and get one of the 3D guys to give it a workout

Both of my Align 800 and MD-8 are 6.3 kgs, almost the same weigh as yours. However, I use smaller batteries (1900 and 2000 mah). Look forward to watching your video.  |

for initial flights - a little more than 11 minutes on the main tanks. That will fall off a little bit as the head speed gets increased.

Updated paint
 The tanks that Scott Milton painted were completed so I updated the model with them and the matching 700ex canopy. Changes the looks a bit
