    Checked back on their website. Now they've added another soundbite and a message saying "check back in December".

    Bored now. Can't stand marketing hype ...

    I'll say one thing for certain - Whatever it is exactly - it doesn't have a DFC head!

        couldn't agree more Tom the marketing hype is tediuos! whoever came up with this shi££ wants firing! last time we followed one of these campaigns it ended with the hypertaxi !What a massive success that was and the silly little sound bites sounded better than this thing they are hyping now my guess is a redbull fused heli not unlike a goblin based on the 500x that they still haven't managed to release!

          It's the new 'eco 700x' - made from reconstituted DOA returns.

              If that's not indoors, that sound like it's bigger than a 600.

                From the picture, you can make out some details.

                1/. It uses a swash driver, not a DFC head,
                2/. It's got CF frames,
                3/. It's got fairly normal looking main gear with one-way bearing.
                4/. The anti-rotation bracket is at the front rather than the back of the swash plate.

                Pretty certain then that it's a large (600 or 700) heli. The "new era" bit is probably marketing gumpf, which i'd guess means either :-

                1/. New era for Blade - eg. build your own kits
                2/. New era for large helis - eg. pre-built BNF at 600 or 700 size.

                None of which is that exciting in itself, unless... they can match other vendors quality, but do it at substantially cheaper prices. That said, the pricing of the 500x doesn't bode well for that!

                    well I can say one thing at least - it's the start of a new era where Blade design a canopy that doesn't look like it was drawn decades ago.

                    Hype seems ridiculous... it's just going to be a blade heli. While some of them are a lot of fun (I love my 130X, and the mCP X is what I credit with moving me beyond my extreme hovering rut) they are hardly earth shattering, especially in the larger sizes where there is a lot of very high quality competition.

                    I won't be following this little trail of breadcrumbs but I will click on the link with at least some interest when they actually want to show me a heli.

                              That actually looks interesting.

                              I'm not a gambling man but I would say I would not own a large Blade heli but the canopy looks interesting from what I can see
