Chase 380

[PeteStewardson]

So it looks like KDS have got the prototype parts to Glen to turn the Chase into a 380 ( up to 395mm I think he said )

Just need to replace the boom and belt ( and maybe longer struts ) and off you go Zeal are doing 380mm blades for the Gobbler which will be perfect.

Tempted to buy a second Chase and stretch it when the parts are available.

Pete, why not buy a Gobbler rather than a second chase and do a comparison?

[PeteStewardson]

I suspect the Gobbler will be significantly more expensive. But if not I might do that

My upgrade parts arrive on Monday for the Chase 360 and will be available on the store shortly there after

You could pick up at our Christmas Extravaganza on the 6th Dec or perhaps pick up a Heli as we have chase 360 & agile 5.5 & 7.2 in stock with full line of spare.

I would have thought stretching the chase to take 380 blades would need a motor upgrade if 3ding ???



BTW Ian will come and say hello next Sat

I would think the combo Scorpion may be fine, it's a monster motor.

i better get some 380 blades in then

[PeteStewardson]

I'm still waiting for the Zeal 360's to come out

So close to buying one tonight don't know wether to get the combo ? Or standard kit ? .
can you get a motor that doesn't stick out the canopy?

No unfortunately not. When flying around you really do not notice it. Does help with the cooking. We have a few in stock as combos but can split down. The Combo's are superb value though.

[PeteStewardson]

All motors will stick out of the canopy, but it's been designed like that to keep the COG as close to the blades as possible. Plenty of fresh air to keep the motor cool as well. TBH I kind of like it, looks like a charger intake

At the moment I'm running the standard kit but with the FBL replaced with vbar. I've heard the ebar is very good but I know how to set up vbar so went with that.

[Lower is better]

Which blades are
you running ?

[PeteStewardson]

I'm using the KDS Chase 360mm blades. They're not expensive and work well.

[milly0812]

I started with zeal 350 but got my mitts on some halo 360 and they are awesome. Just the extra 20 mm disc diameter is really noticeable

Any updates on the availability of a 380 stretch? Can't find one anywhere.
