I always thought the E5 was a converted N5?

Hi guys,

The E5 project just started at the end of January, it is in the prototype stage at the moment but here is some more information:

A little more information about the E5 :

- 550 Class Electric Heli
- 10mm main shaft / 8mm head axle
- Machined Delrin Helical Main Gear
- Shaft Driven Tail System
- Monster Mod 1.25 Bevel Gears and Counter Gear
- Lower motor shaft bearing block
- Third main shaft bearing block
- Direct servo to swash CCPM (very similar to the E6/7)
- 52mm inner frame width for multiple motor options
- 25/30mm motor bolt width for multiple motor options
- Washout Arm mounting integrated into the head block
- 6S - 12S battery compartment capability (I am currently running 6S 5000mah packs)
- Easily stretched to 600 class helicopter with E6 parts

Nice to have a decent heli to put the 6s 5000 packs in if you already have a 700e. Should be good.
