Protos 550/570/600/630/650 stretch MAke it happen !

[rasheem]

500 size (430mm) is very close to P380... I agree, 550/570/600 size is more appropriate choice...

All 500 come with the long boom now. Mine swings 480 blades. It's very floaty.
A new 550 would be nice though.

Damn! You're right...

Anyway... I hope for 500 - 570 Main Blades!

[KiwiBlair]

Is this happening yet? Im looking for a 500-600 size Heli to buy mid-late year. Imo a platform that covers 500-550 Blades for 6s batteries also 550-600 Blades for 12s would make most people VERY happy. Sell it 550 size in the box with shrink/stretch kits as options. ( could also sell lightweight parts for 6s use and heavy duty for 12s--- gives people options and covers more bases)

[livedemon]

its happening but cant say anything on release date

[Unihiron]

Guess we are waiting to see what happens at IRCHA?

[Krea]

The longer the wait the more my dollars have to go to other things. First was 550sx, then 500X, now guitar...

[tonys-heli]

I would think if msh had a 550, rotor live would've been the place to show it.
if they come out with a 550, im all in
I have a 550sx and a PRS! I need a protos 550

[honkytown]

anyone knows where this pictures comes from and what they are showing us?

[flint723]

First one is a Max v2 photoshopped with shorter boom and black grips by Colin as a joke.

Second one, looks like somebody just put their protos max canopy in the bag with their p500.

[livedemon]

i doubt a 550/600 would come with plastic main grips,as it will be abused majorly

I would love some well engineered, less expensive plastic main blade grips. Matt

Really they are too much of a limitation for an all out 550 machine. There is a cost advantage to using them. And obviously it happened on one other platform. But still that platform had many cases of failed grips, so high stress headspeeds and maneuvers are out of reach.

I think that means: No! ^^

[honkytown]

I can share a secret with you all.

There will be no kits-only versions for sale, just the same bondage-kits like the last releases...forced to buy electronics you don't need.

OTS is always referring to a 550 class, so i think its safe to assume it will be this size.

I just searched Amazon for "Bondage kits" not knowing what to expect, and
