New MSH Protos 700 Announced «

[AcidDrink]

I was eagerly waiting for this. Really great news!

[Spasmod]

Whoa, that's going to be a real beast of a heli I reckon

[Chris Boughton]

Should be good!!!! I cant beleive how many new 700 size helis are comming onto the market!!! Makes it hard to decide which to get!!! haha

[Jamin_00]

I think its great that the choice is becoming so varied.

As for that canopy, awesome!!! lol

[JoeBailey]

It's nice to see something other then a fleet of align helis at the field, most of these new electrics seem to be using diferant systems as well.

Must say it does look kinda sexy!!! and a brave move to use a belt drive setup.
Most of the 700 sized heli's use torque drive- which would be more efficient at that size?

To me it looks like someone has stuffed a 450 size heli into a 500 canopy. Looks odd.

7hv works fine with a belt drive. I think torque tube drives are more efficient and you get a bit more time in an auto but belt drives seem far more robust. I have clipped my tail blades on the ground quits a few times and no probs.

Protos 700 is sweet! I like it alot! Very sleek!

The canopy shape and the way it looks and fits on the mechanics, just looks like a bigger version of the protos 500... nothing sexy about it to me.. just another pod n boom heli..

[killer4557]

looks like it has a DFC head to me aswell it has a very short main shaft and thats where things are heading

[Zeeflyboy]

Looks just like a carbon protos 500 scaled up to me... A little bit more CNC is about the only obvious difference from that small pic. I see metal tail case, boom block and main shaft blocks. All those are plastic on the protos 500.

I'm sure it will fly great, if the Protos and mini Protos are anything to go by.

Personally I find the gaui X7 calling my name more strongly however!

+ 1 on that Zeefly!!!! I am trying my best to resist the X7!!!! It seems inevitable it will be my next heli purchase though. I think it is leagues ahead of other 700's aesthetically and the Gaui quality speaks for itself. Still just holding back to wait and see what other exciting things arrive in the 700 market. On a side note..... This "Shape" 800 looks bloody tasty!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see and hear a bit more about that!!!! I think it is an 800 anyway. Whatever it is, it looks bloody gorgeous!!!!
