New X-Cell Spectra-G gas model

bigrcr · 07-29-2004, 09:31 PM

Here are a few pictures of the new gas model. It is the X-Cell Spectra-G 3-D. For those of us waiting on the "Fury Gas"

, it is instead the new Spectra line of X-Cell helicopters.

The pictures show the model before a canopy paint job. It is running the Zenoah G-231 and the Hatori pipe prototype. It has been test "hopped" and does VERY well. Flights will resume as soon as the monsoon stops :cry: :cry: Look for it soon at an event near you!
BTW- The red velcro behind the gyro on top is what I intend to use to keep the gyro intact. I learn my lessons! :mrgreen:

SWEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT

WOW, Great and very revealing Pics John!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

HelicopterJohn · 07-29-2004, 09:36 PM

John,

Really looks nice.

Are you going to bring it to IRCHA?

bigrcr · 07-29-2004, 09:46 PM

Yes, I PLAN on being at IRCHA. I hope it works out that way. The model will be there whether I am or not :? .

Later,

John,
Is this still a "prototype"?
The reason I ask is the black anodized head block and old style Fury swash.
Along with what appears to be the closed tailbox when I thought the new kits were going to have the open tailbox.
Not picking as everything there is fine, but just wondering if the kit is changing or if you are still flying a pre-production unit.

Looking forward to this ship for sure. I want to be 100% out of the nitro business by next season.

Can't wait to see this thing fly at IRCHA!

carey shurley · 07-30-2004, 05:17 AM

John's Spectra was converted from one of his other models. Some of the anodizing colors have changed since then.

At the moment, the production parts to make another open t/r gearbox haven't come in. The model shown on minatureaircrafusa.com will be at the jamboree along with other models from the shop.

fitenfyr · 07-30-2004, 11:09 PM

Cool...
So that is what my backup Extreme is going to look like.

TerryBelanger · 07-31-2004, 08:49 AM

Any specs on it? How mutch does it weigh? I can't find anything on MA's website

carey shurley · 07-31-2004, 09:14 AM

have you looked at this link:
Spectra-G

TerryBelanger · 07-31-2004, 05:32 PM

Anyone know about what the kit cost will be?

bigrcr · 07-31-2004, 10:33 PM

Pricing has not been set as of yet. The final parts list is being finalized and pricing will follow.

Later,

Tom Fiddler · 07-31-2004, 11:34 PM

Put an air cleaner on that thing!!!!
While cutting the grass inverted you will ingest alot of dirt.... You are cutting the grass inverted aren"t you?????

Looks great John, Carey , Tim

whirlyspud · 08-05-2004, 09:45 AM

Any updated ETA?

Mike

carey shurley · 08-06-2004, 05:27 AM

no, there's not a specific day that its going to start shipping yet. Tim has the price, I just need to get it from him and get it posted.

They are taking pre-orders and have quite a few already backordered.

Should be a couple flying at the Jamboree next week and I'd expect it to not be too long after that although the Jamboree always backs things up.

whirlyspud · 08-06-2004, 11:59 AM

Thanks Carey. I ordered one thru Rick's a few weeks ago, so hopefully you have an order from them.<G>

big dee · 08-08-2004, 03:12 AM

Galifrey · 08-08-2004, 03:40 AM

Anyone know where to get a Hatori 942/943 muffler from?

Or when X-Cell will be selling that muffler?

DavidH · 08-08-2004, 08:23 AM

Most likely Hatori USA will have the muffler.
