How funny John! Great minds think alike right?

I am pulling for the CC 80 over the Kontronik's Jazz controller ONLY because I have the Pheonix Link. Am I crazy or what!

Nope. Century showed it at MayDay, and it did look prety cool. Smaller than I thought it would be, but it looked good. They said the kits would be out prety soon. I think they said then end of June. But I might be wrong about that, as I have slept since then.

Build it, fly it, crash it. Repeat as often as needed.

I was hoping it would be about the size of a 30-helli, like the Hawk. I own an Icarus Eco8 now. Is it about that size?

Thanks

It is a 30-size'ish heli. It is slated to use 530-550 mm blades. I plan on using 550 mm SAB blades.

I havent been able to find out anything on any setup that will either be offered with or that would work with. I would really like to know what size pack is recomended.

Spy photo from a cul-de-sac in northern California. Been sworn to secrecy, so I can't tell you who or exactly where, but the photo is less than one month old. Flight testing to verify motor/ battery combinations to be recommended.

It seems smaller than logo10.

> It seems smaller than logo10.

The chassis does seem a little more compact than the Logo 10 but the blade size is 50 mm longler (per blade) than for a Logo 10. To put 550 mm blades on a Logo 10, you have to get the "stretch kit."

Costs for parts

How about part cost? Are they going to be significantly cheaper than those of logo 10/14?

If Century sticks to the way the last couple of machines have gone, I am sure the parts cost will be very reasonable. I doubt they will be anywhere near what the Logo parts are. But that is purely a guess based on the parts cost of say the Predator as opposed to say the Fury or Vigor.

Build it, fly it, crash it. Repeat as often as needed.

I've got a pack I'm putting together right now for another project.. a 4S4P 5000Mah pack. It is good for 50 amps sustained (800 watts), 70 burst.
Maybe I'll go with a heavier cell and shoot for 60+ amps sustained?
I cant imagine my CC80 working at 60 amps without a fan though.
Not a 3Der myself, so a crazy 2Kw setup is not in the cards.

so time to speculate

What motor and speed controller

my guess tango 45-10 + Castle creations 80?

servos look like std futaba? not digital

and gyro + rudder looks like 9254 +gy401

so what gear ratio any guesses?

Will this kit come with blades?
