    Default Newbie who needs help identifying a .50/.60 Nitro Heli

    Sorry to sign up an ask a question straight away but I've asked on my usual form (RCGroups) and nobody has been able to identify this Heli I have recently bought at a show.
    It looks a bit like Century or Kyosho but it doesnt seem to be a version of either .. The side plates, boom, head, skids etc. are all ally and its got mounting holes for a OS .50 or .60 engine.
    Any help would be much appreciated as I'd like to now if parts are available before I build it up





    Cheers!

    Looks like a Compass Knight PRO. Superceded by the Knight 3D in about 2007. Doubt you'll find many parts available for it.

    It is as Ian says a Compass knight pro. Alot of knight 3d bits fit from head to the tail, but nothing on the side frames of the model. WestonUK and EvoRC stock Compass spares. It also has the 6mm head looking at the metal blade grips as they where 6mm on this model

    Measure the main shaft and bolt holes and I will check one of my main shafts .. As for main gears ... Never stripped one .. But if they the same as the 3D then sorted .. Only thing I would check is clutch stack and bellhousing bearings to make sure all is well . If you need dimensions of any of the parts then drop a line and I can measure any of my spares up for you to see if they match the 3D

    I've measured the main shaft which is 10mm but I havent checked how far the bolt holes are up the shaft yet.
