Is this the biggest helicopter out there?

How big is the logo xxtreme 800??!? it seems enormous (at least to me) does anyone know how long the fuselage is from nose to tail?

Can't help with the actual size but another club member brought his Vario and stood it against my Xxtreme.

I think the length is about 64inches or so??

vario xlv has an 8ft rotor disc

Definitely not the biggest model heli out there, but i think its fair to say its the biggest Mainstream sports heli available at the moment.
The XLV, although bigger seems to be a much more niche market heli, and I have only known of 2 people who have them. I already know of several pilots in the UK who own XXtremes.
There are also quite a few individual large scale models around, but again, these are very individual, and the flying style of these is much more reserved.
My prediction is that quite a few manufacturers will jump on the 800 band wagon once they realise how lucrative that market is becoming

there's an xlv on ebay right now buy it now $2900 and $150 shipping but you're in the UK so I guess you won't be the third person you know to have one

I would love an xlv, but I would have no way to transport it without modding something for the bed of my truck. I just barely squeeze my AirStar International Mongoose in the back of my full sized dodge pickup truck

Does anyone have a picture comparing the size of it with a raptor 50 or a trex 600n?
