Vibe 50

[Disc]

Guys,

anyone heard about this yet?

where, when price etc?

While looking for a 2nd 50 found its comming but when and price...

[robgt]

Heard about it, yes - thats about it though.

A couple of pictures on helifreak.

120° or 140° CCPM again (by the looks of the swashplate)
It uses a front facing engine (rear fuel tank), unlike the Vibe 90 which faces rear (front fuel tank).
Seems to have an inline flybar carrier too, which is a better idea than the independent arms of the 90 if you ask me.

Cheers,
Rob

yup very nice don't break it though... you may aswell buy another type of 50 kit if you do because it'll be cheaper than the spares.. guaranteed

IV heard the price will be around £280 - £350 is very nice though, just dont like the price of parts as lee said just buy a new kit would be cheaper lol

I've got 3 JR helis now, and they all just have the most awesome build quality. My new one (90 size) is currently being fitted out and might get its first flight this weekend, all things being good, but the other two (one 30 size and one 50 size) are just the most confidence inspiring machines to fly.

Now I know that spares are a bit tough to get hol dof sometime, but Midlands have recently decleared that they are going to stock 100% of JR heli spares - only time will tell if they can keep this promise, but I do hope so.

JR helis are just in a league of their own when it comes to flying, and I have the utmost confidence that the Vibe 50 will not disapoint, and will be of an equal standard both on the bench, and in the air to the rest of their range. Maybe this heli will be the one to bring them back as a major player in the market, after all, the 50 size heli is by far the most popular for club fliers across the land. That in itself also makes it the most competitive class to break into.

If I had my way, in 12 months time you'd all be saying "600N who?" and talk of Vibe 50s would be dominating forums like this. JR helis definitely come from a superior blood-line than the new upstarts like Align and Compass, so I think you should feel confident that this machine is going to be a goodun!

I am sure the same was said about the aurrora LOL

Having seen the Vibe 90 (Daves) built and flown, and seeing the overall quality of the kit, and the excellent flight characteristics of the heli in the air, I became convinced to stop waiting for the Aurora and instead buy a Vibe.

I look forward to seeing the Vibe 50 - if the 90 is anything to go by, it may well be something special...

Real Raptors keep stock of JR spares too... by the way

Cheers,
