Re: Heli ID

If its defo a 600 its just the sport model if u new to helis might be better as a crash will be 10- 30 quid cheaper ;-)

It isn't entirely unheard of for someone to fit a belt driven tail to a 600N Pro, especially if they are new to the hobby and want to avoid the cost of replacing the tail gears every time they catch the tail on landing

A picture will help though as you can immediately see things like the colour of the side frames and a few others details that give a good clue to what it was originally.

The good news is that pretty much all the 600N parts will fit on any of the 600N variants so it is easy to get it exactly the way you want it.

What colour is the head etc? Metal or plastic?

that looks to be the 600n sport
with the silver frames

skyline did sell the 600n pro with belt drive
they swopped the torque tube system out for the belt drive


the pro has black carbon frames
the sport has silver/grey grp frames

Yep thats what it looks like
I had one when I first started fly great and no probs with belt drive
Went to torque tube next one . And i was always having to change gears
with my hard landings
Stick with belt for a little while you wont be disapointed

It looks like it has been well taken care of, 'should be a solid reliable heli.
