Hope there is going to be a nitro version though, does look wicked, same canopy as the 450 just scaled up to 90 size.

quote from another forum from one of CYE emloyees-

Curtis no longer flys for JR heli division. JRPROPO is the radio division of JR, not the heli division. Yes it will be a nitro model with an electric conversion available at the time of release. It might not happen 100% that way, but rest assured it will be nitro with an electric option. Likely a flybarless option as well.

That's one lovely looking heli.

looking at the prices on the rave 450 i don't think i will beable to afford this one lol!

With the exception of the flybar going over the top of the feathering spindle, that looks very similar to the Vibe 3D.

What type of Radix blades are those with the golden triangles?

Be interesting to see if it will be in JR pricing areas though, i have a feeling it might be.
Love my rave 450 so would be keen on this, can't see it comming out until mid next year though

those blades are the FAI range. you can buy those now. i think 710's are £99.99

cheers

I had a gut feeling this would be coming out now..

He didn't set up Next-D just to do one model.. and as soon word got out about his contract ending with JR Heli Division this was on the cards.

Ideal timing too.. US nationals, World Championships and then IRCHA all at the same site in the US for the next couple of months.. golden marketing opportunity!

Steve.. those are the FAI blades and they fly really nicely. However don't even think about putting them on anything with plastic grips.. they weigh a meaty 230g!

Cheers

Wrong picture illustrating them but have seen these myself.

£89.99 at Fastlads

Definitely had to be coming especially since the last "all Curtis" JR design was probably the Vigor CS... The Next-D looks promising for sure, boy would I like one (along with a brace of Avros, a Vibe SG, a Freya Evo etc etc etc!)
