[RJX-Helicopters]

The first Sneak peak of the latest model from RJX - The X-Tron 500 an electric 500 class heli.....
... A 6 to 8 cell beast with the head and tail parts made of high grade 7075 Aluminium and full Carbon Fibre Frame set. Very easy to assemble and maintain. With a highly 3D capable performance due to its light weight but still very strong and rigid frame setup ....

Looks really good indeed,thinking of getting shot of my Logo 400 and this would be an ideal replacement.

Hello all,

here some pics with the canopy.
The canopy is painted by a german RJX Team Pilot and is not the series one.
Also here a short Trailer from the 500 in action.....

Let's hope the "high grade 7075 Aluminium" is not as bendy as the aluminium that the head of my RJX X-Treme 50 was made of! The blade grip control arms bent for fun on my X50 - even when my mate picked up my heli by the head!

Very 'boxy' in shape. I suppose limitations there are deciding to pop the lipos in the frame..then skid height gets determined by the tail blades clearance and rotor height gets determined by motor choices and necessary clearance there? It does look like one could have shaved some height off the mainshaft though and perhaps done something with the tail blade holders to get the tail disc smaller which could have shaved more off the skids? It'd also be nice to see more innovation on antirotation methods on these smaller helis...

Is it a 'real' 500 flying 500mm blades?.. looks like another 425...
