Beam E6 specs?

[trillian]

I found what I thought was the main Beam website but it is severely lacking in details, shows a link for manuals but when you click on it you get a page saying essentially 'this is where the manuals will be...if we ever get round to putting them up'.

What I'd like to know first of all is;

1. What size is the main gear, teeth and mod size. I understand it is a herringbone so then my question is what pinions are available, is it the same pitch as the Mikado herringbone gears, etc.

I read something showing suggested motors of 560KV if memory serves. If I were to get one I'd want to use a motor I already have (510 and 470 kv).

2. Is FL the only UK dealer stocking the kits and parts?

If they have a 13 tooth pinion with it then it should be fine on a 510KV motor. One motor I have is 470KV though and that would require a 14 or 15 tooth pinion. The more I see of the Beam the more I think it's exactly what I want (it would be nice if they had another colour choice for the canopy). I just need to sell some stuff on Ebay, retire one heli and see if I can sell a dinasaur of a heli that's taking up too much shelf space.

I already have a suitable ESC and a couple motor possibilities. I've got all the electrics basically and the only thing I'd need to decide is what FBL unit (I'd prob have to start out with a Beast X as it will be a while before I could afford a Vortex and datapod).

If you're worried about which motor and pinion, there's the same motor I have in the classifieds.

There's also the same ESC as mine, which has been good so far:
