Rumors of a plastic 700?

[Corvette & Copter Guy]

Now I have to wonder if I want to replace my 700XX with the new version or just have both

[Retired2011]

Both!

There's no replacing in helis.

[SMJT]

Come on announce it already I want pictures!!!!

[satsuma]

I would sure like to see it, i have a Logo 600 sx, a 600 se in a Mikado Hughes 500, a 690 and an 800 extreme, so a logo nut lol and would like the new 700 when it arrives

I too am excited to hear and or see more. I'm a big fan of light weight setups...

Light weight= best heli setup.

Unless it's a 360mm heli and smaller where you don't run low headsspeed

There is no "best". There are only trade-offs. Nothing absorbs wind like my 700 Xxtreme.

[acidla]

I used to have a TDR which was a light heli and i didn't like it.

Sooo, will the plastic 700 make its appearance at 15 of March?

[_Kyle_]

I wouldn't mind if it was in the middle of the weight category.

I guess since they already have a 690sx and 700xx..

One to rule them all?

Let's hope so

[SMJT]

I wonder if it is going to use the same tail drive system as the 700xx or if it will be a full belt system.

[prototype3a]

Full belt would be a lot lighter and more efficient. It would also be a huge selling point for many.

I'm happy with the current bullet proof TT design. If I were starting new, my wish list would just be just plastic frames and main grips.

However, since I am flying my current XX700 with 753mm blades, I have no desire for it to be lighter. When the lighter plastic kit comes out I may buy one and fly it with 713mm blades but I have no intention of converting my 753mm machine to 713mm.

With regards to the plastic frames, I hope they give more thought to mounting a Kosmik. The current frames have so much void space that is unusable.

[SMJT]

personally I prefer the torque tube system but if they go full belt drive I want a solid tail box.

I would have to say if it has a two plate carbon fibre tail box like on the other plastic logos that would be a deal breaker for me.

[_Kyle_]

Yeah. I want a metal tail box..

I'm not really a fan of Dual stage but doesn't really matter.

[mahbouni]

Last time I looked at my tail box it was already metal and looks really beefy. Is there any indication that they will move to a CF design?

[_Kyle_]

I meant not like the Sx series tail box.

Something easier its to work on..

The Avant Mostro has a brilliant tail box design that I like.

[SMJT]

So it looks like the new 700 is coming out in fall so much for plastic 700 this season.

[janol]

sounds like plastic to me

"The Logo 700 will be redesigned thoroughly. A lightweight and robust molded chassis, a new rotor head and freshly designed canopies are only a few of the details. Let yourself be surprised!

If I'm reading it correctly this new NEO vbar with bail out will work with non VBC radios???
