Knowing beam they will be well made as well as the 450 is very nicely made .... They not as much a know brand like some of the other big players but they make quality machines none the less .. Will be nice to hear what this one is like

Will they be making a flybarred version?

[Fast_lad]

UK Price for the kit is £419.99 and they are due in stock next week. The quality of this heli has to be seen to be believed.

There is a preorder link here. <b>Pre Order</b> Beam AvantGarde 600 Size Flybarless Helicopter Kit BA-0

From what I can tell there are no plans at present for a Flybarred version.

i'm really looking forward to hearing people's experiences of this model.

Hi,

i think you can expect customers feedback early 2012 once they have received / bult and fly the model. SO far all i ca say is that on the pre production model i had only one issue, the main shaft ( hollow) was a bit soft for the one way and was dented easy ( but never had a failure) and this has been strenghtened. Also, after discussing with Castle Creations, we have added threaded inserts to fit perfectly the tabs of the ICE 2 HV 80 and 120 so no more hassle, just 8 small pieces of fuel tube ( dampenin) 4 screws and your ESC is fitted on the heli on the right location if you have a CC. IF any other, we added straps holes to hold everything in place and a small hole on the front to retain the ESC power input wires so you can route them to prevent touching the engine.

An upgraded tail belt, reinforced, will be available also in a few weeks ( but not really necessary, just looks cool for bling bling, but people ask for it so..) . I'll drop apicture of it, it's a Genuine Bando Polyurethane belt, reinforced.
BEst regards,
Fabien

Well, the thought I have had since I first flew my E4 is that if they could make a bigger heli
that flies perportionately as good it would be amazing because the E4 is seriously
accurate and precise for such a small heli.

I suppose the FBL version is what will be the most popular anyway but I would love to
have seen a 600 size flybarred head with the workmanship of the E4 scaled up.

[Fabien]

Hi,

as Chris stated, for the moment there is no particular plan to make a FB head. Simply more and more people move to FBL and the price difference is no more existant: IF you have a flybar heli and want a good tail gyro, it will cost the same as a Beast X in some ways that will fly your FBL head with no problems and will be much cheaper for maintenance / fix after crash due to the lower number of parts.
But it is not impossible that in 2012 a upgrade ( well hard to call it upgrade lol ) comes out if really there is a sustained demand ?

Best regards,

Fabien

What's the ideal battery size for this?
