Heli-Max, a company with plenty of small electric experience is venturing into the nitro arena with the new Kinetic 50 ARF Kit. Here's a copy of the official press release we just received:
Most any heli modeler will tell you: nothing beats the realism of a nitro-powered machine. And nothing beats the value and performance of Heli-Maxs Kinetic 50! Even a beginner can get into heli flying with this impressive model and experienced pilots will really appreciate its 3-D aerobatic capabilities, right out of the box. When you compare features, parts availability and aftermarket support, youll see that the Kinetic 50 has it all over the competition!
Large dimensions make the Kinetic 50 easy to track and very stable when hovering.
Can be flown outside in weather that would ground smaller helis.
Nitro power delivers long flight times, quick re-fueling and consistent power from beginning to end.
The Kinetic 50 boasts a reliable hex start system and wide-stance, heavy-duty landing gear.
Smooth flight characteristics are courtesy of a precision no-play swashplate with metal ball joints. Other performance features include a self-aligning clutch and 6 mm feathering spindle.
The tail-mounted rudder servo delivers superb tail control, with the gyro mounted directly behind the main shaft for easy access.
The torque tube-driven tail is powerful, efficient and usually an expensive aftermarket accessory. But its standard equipment on the Kinetic 50!
Specifications:
Rotor Diameter: 52.75 in (1340 mm) Weight: 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) Length: 47 in (1194 mm) Width w/Landing Skids: 10 in (255 mm) Height: 15.25 in (387 mm) Gear Ratio: 9.1:1/Main; 5:1/Tail Requires: 6-channel heli radio w/5 servos, 2-stroke .46-.51 cu in (7.5-8.0 cc) heli engine, .50-size muffler, gyro
HMXE0250 Kinetic 50 Nitro Helicopter ARF Retail: $479.99 Street: $299.99
Those are some lofty claims. Know that you'll see a full review of the Kinetic 50 in an upcoming issue of RC Heli magazine
