Man that's nice!! :) :cool:

[heli-cuzz]

That's not a toy, that's a machine. :cool: She's a beauty alright.
Now that you made me drool over the pics, how bout pics of the EFX in action. :)

[DJB2.0]

I'll get there.
I need to fly this thing, first, then come the pics.
My GY611 is giving me some troubls ATM. I may be sending it in to Futaba to get looked at.

I might be getting a Logictec 6100T gyrp for this baby. I got to see that gyro in action this weekend on a TREX600, and it was amazing.

The 611 may be going to my 50. we'll see.


I received a comment today on another forum by Augusto Arevalo himself, (the designer/ creator of this "machine".

Dan,
I love the paintjob. The color combination looks very very nice.

Augusto.

Avant Aurora Ultimate


It's kinda silly, but that is a HUGE honor for THE MAN to have said that.

I just wonder what he would say once I fly this and stick it in the dirt.
Truthfully, Im scared to fly it. I have over $2500 invested in it. I very afraid of it becoming a "hangar queen"

But then, then, you wouldnt get to see any flight pictures. I'll see what I can do, Cuz.

[DJB2.0]

Oh yeah, I didnt notice untill AFTER the pictures were taken that my paddles were crooked. The guys in hair & makeup slapped those on there for the photo shoot.

Don't worry, all the guys in Hair & Makeup have been duely FIRED!

[heli-cuzz]

LoL

I love the paint job, very nice color scheme. Don't put that thing into the dirt, I'll cry.

I'm in the market for a 90 but am not rushing anything yet.
Its between the Synergy or the Avant. For now I'll stay with my Caliber5, Caliber 30, and rexy. :)

Beauitful heli you have.

[DJB2.0]

The paint artists name is Angelo Bouyoukas of Woodstock, Illinois.
He isnt one of the "big boys", but he does excellent work.
He uses HOK paints.

A canopy job by him will cost you roughly 1/4 to 1/3 than the other guys. Best part is, you will get your canopy back in roughly 2-3 weeks.

You can contact him by searching for "AngeloB" on one of the otheRR forums.

Now that you made me drool over the pics
Drooling hell.....I'm slobbering. Man, they don't get any sweeter than that. Nice "machine".

[blax1]

Very Nice Machine :cool:

[DJB2.0]

I just ordered this for my Avant EFX.
Click HERE (http://www.carbonxtreme.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=120&products_id=1317) to see what it is.

[Helifino]

Pricey but sweeet! :cool:

[heli-cuzz]

I've been looking into those, but it'll be a few before a 90 anyway. I'm still learning. :)

That's an excellent upgrade, DJB. :cool:

[blax1]

The whole assembly just oozes QUALITY :cool:

[DJB2.0]

Not quite like a PiccooZ, Blade, or a Dragon Fly or anything, but yes. I agree with you. It oozes quality. Just as long as you say so, 'cuz I'm sure you know quality, Blax ;)

But seriously, though. This is some high quality stuff.

Cuzz, get a 90. Dont wait, just do it.
a 90 will only make you fly better.
And if you still cant fly it, it looks better anyway, because you are doing it on a 90!

Remember those old Basketball shoes commercials, where a guy would say, "It must be the shoes!"
Even if the shoes won't help you dunk a B-Ball, or get you into the NBA, a heli really will boost your skills.

I will own one, but the new baby being born and I bought another Caliber5. Due to finances, the 90 will be at the end of the year{tax time} :D
For now I have my 30 and 50's
DJ, I'll fly the $h@t out of a 90 ;)

That is a beautiful design of a MR head. :cool:

[larrytoelle]

Howdy DJB,


That's an absolutely beautiful bird ... fantastic canopy work ... and mechanics. Great job.

Love the head design ...

Augusto is finally getting this bird together after a lot of startup problems ... and I think it's going to be a hard bird to beat.

Congratulations!

LT

[HeliRaptor]

I love this machine. I am waiting on the Aurora myself. This bird is sweet and I love the canopy.

[Tech F1]

What an awesome heli ' What is the story with the Avant Aurora heli can you buy these kits yet???

[AaronS]

The heli is in the late prototype stages still, and having spoken with Augusto myself I can assure you that he has been busy with continuous updates and revisions to the design so that when it does finally come to market its ready. I have complete faith that it will make it to market, but I have no clue of when that actually will be :rolleyes:

[DJB2.0]

I just added some new "bling" to the old EFX.

Can anyone tell the difference?

it flies better :D It might actually be lighter now.


It is the "old" EFX because it isnt the "new" Aurora.
I don't have one of those yet.

It is "old", because I bought it in February.

ya wanna buy it?

[schwa]

i think i had better learn how to fly my 30 first
