This would be a cool subject to talk about to start off this subforum.

Here are some of mine, past and present:

The Caliber 30, the heli that thought me how to fly:

And the Caliber 5, my newest addition for the 2007 Dutch 3D competition:

Since I was one of the ones asking for a Kyosho forum, here are some of mine. I am still new to the hobby, only flying for about 3 weeks so mine are all static pictures on my friends RX7. If I can get out today or tomorrow I will take some in the air.
As you can see I still have the training gear I made on the heli. The US $6 I invested in dowels and tennis balls has saved me a lot of cash so far.
I like the CAL5, I wonder why more people do not fly them.

Kyosho forum on Helifreak. Great.

My Concept 46, nixed it on Ebay when parts became scarce.

Laurens · 12-05-2006, 11:17 AM

What modifications did you do on that right C5 Kiwiflyer?

kiwiflyer · 12-05-2006, 11:59 AM

It's a Caliber 3 with painted canopy.

Hello all I am new to this forum. It is great to see another Kyosho thread out there on the net.

Caliber 5

Caliber 400 XP

Beautiful choppers, those Kyoshos. I like that the electrics have double gear reduction, so they don't need the tiny canopies that most other choppers have.

If only Kyosho were more popular in the USA.

Laurens · 12-08-2006, 04:03 PM

Popularity isn't something I'm looking for when I select a new heli. If there are any problems with a heli they'll be easy to solve if you look at other heli's with the same kind of construction.

I got a brand new Caliber 3 just before Christmas. Here are some of my pics.

Laurens · 03-06-2007, 03:24 AM

Looks great! Do you like it?

kevinator9 · 03-06-2007, 12:21 PM

Yea! It was a breeze to setup (except for the 9c. That was hard). Although the clutch broke twice! But it's all up and running now.

HeliEdje · 03-07-2007, 03:21 PM

something else, quite rare i think

BTW last week I redid the wiring. Much better now (no pics yet)

Laurens · 03-07-2007, 05:14 PM

Isn't that one selling with stock electronics Ed?

HeliEdje · 03-08-2007, 12:21 AM

Nope. Just with a stock brushed motor. I upgraded it to a brushless Mega motor and a alloy head. Here's the original specs:
