So, what is it????? I love surprises, and I think I have an idea.

Well, it's a helicopter. That's about all I can figure. Not sure what that is under it. Perhaps it's for smuggling contraband.
 It's tough to judge size, but it seems smallish, so maybe something smaller than a 380?

Looks like a fuel tank in the back of the frames and some thick smoke...
Could it be a new Nitro???  |

Definitely a new Nitro. 700 Size first, then probably a .55/.60 based on the 570...

Its a clip from a video on their FB page. Looks like dry ice floating under it then it sucks away.... I dont think that is a fuel tank there inbetween the frames. It is sitting on the KSE style landing gear. So thats a plus.

I don't know, to my eyes, that looks like a smaller bird. At least, I hope so. Would be nice to have a bird that competes with the Oxy 3, or even the oxy 2.
I don't see SAB going this small, but I could see helis released over the next year or so that would be at or under the 9 oz limit

Remember when the 766 teaser was out, some people that it was a 450 size, it was really an 800. Hard to tell without refrence, but I think it would be to early to release a smaller heli. Takes to much thunder from the 380, im sure they look at sales trends. By now im sure 700 comps have trailed off a bit since everyone has one already lol, gotta resell everyone a new heli somehow.

"Starting in 2011 SAB started creating revolutionary electric helicopters..."
...... "AND NOW..." The smoke, even if dry ice is somewhat symbolic.. It's a freaking Nitro!!! If the weight is low enough I'll definitely be on the preorder list for this monster. |

Could simply be a fog because it's shrouded in mystery.
It does almost look small although hard to judge size, maybe a Micro Goblin? 280mm?

Perhaps the fog was just cheazy 'mystery' fog, But when I look at it I see them mentioning "Electric", then the fog just immediately makes me think Nitro. Plus it seems to me Nitro is starting to get more popular.
Besides why would SAB introduce a Micro? We have the Lynx birds, and Horizon already in that game. Nobody is doing new Nitro stuff except Avant which has seemingly fallen off the face of the earth. Nitro just makes more sense to me. I hope I'm right because a new Nitro is far more exciting than yet another Micro... |

If you look closely at the bottom left. It looks like possible the corner of a pipe and deflector sticking out. I'm hoping nitro. I'm wishing nitro. come on nitro....
I dream of a OS 1.05 powered G570 Carbon edition. |

If you watch the vid there is very clearly an empty tank inside that airframe. Nitro 100%.

It could be nitro but I have my doubts honestly out the 100 or so I know that fly helis only 2 fly nitro
someone should do a poll who's still flying nitro Also taking the dramatic price slump of the used heli market into consideration (I mean I bought a goblin 500 with electronics no FBL in decent shape with one battery at the field for 350 ) Not to many people gonna be building a 2500 dollar nitro and at 30++ a gallon and in my opinion electric out performs |

I just built a $2500 nitro lol. Im sure that SAB feels on top of the world right now and is going to release anything they want expecting it to be a huge success. I don't doubt that they will sell a bunch, will be many peoples first nitro Im sure. A surge like that can drive down the price of nitro, the more bulk the manufacturers can buy the cheaper the product can be
