Were did you see the listing for CF frames and boom on MTAs site? I would also be interested in them. Cyber-heli list the frames.

that do not have them in yet!! I also see them on Cyberheli site, not sure how there Customer Service is these days, as I would like to buy them as well as a boom...right now im experiencing some glitching, hoping it's just my channel at the field as it seems to get hit often, but a friend of mine is flying the CF version and it's Ballistic...really Ballistic...his setup is running the mp1 on a standard os 50 and it has crazy power...needless to say the Knight 50 had everyone in amazement after the thrashing it took, two more people will be purchasing one soon!

Talked to MTA today and they are supposed to be getting the CF frames in about three weeks along with other upgrades for the Knight.

Got to watch a friend of mine fly this past weekend, I must say this helis is the Real Deal, the piro rate on it is scary and the heli holds up welll when being thrown around, I was having glitching problemms and tuning a motor, but I did go inverted and it was so smooth that it flipped right over and just sat there needing no stick inputs..it was a weird but very comfortable feeling, gives pilots like me that have been flying for about 2 yeas much more confidence and the parts prices match if not beat many 50 heli's on the market.

Anybody having glitching problems they can't seem solve with there metal framed Knight? I have slight glitches that I can't seem to get rid of. All the radio gear was from a good flying heli. I've tried PPM and PCM with no luck.

Well, flew this morning with NO glitches!! On Sunbeams advise I pulled the motor and checked the center of the crank case and the center of the mount and they were rubbing. I file two groves on the mount for the motor to clear. I only flew once sence my fingers were going numb but this was the first flight with no glitches.

Ok I had to get myself one of these bad boys. Im new to this hobby so still learning so much...anyway heres my question. I have a 9303 jr and Im still learning how to use this eloquent piece of hardware. Is there anyone out there that has this radio that has set up a knight 50 with eccpm mixing? If so I would like to get your settings as this will help me dramatically in properly setting up my new bird. I have purchased my new gear for this knight in shining armor and it is as follows:
os 50 hyper
4 9252 fut.
611 gyro
curtis muscle pipe
throttle jockey gov.
95mm nhp tail blades
600 tt carbon mains
This thing should kick some boootay

PS FINLESS...THANKS FOR THE HELP BRO!

yeah its all good. I figured if I could just download it into the radio it would save alot of headache. If nobody has the program its not like its impossible.

I'm using stock Raptor 60 95mm tail blades till I get some carbons. They seems to hold alot better then the stock ones and still have lots of clearence to the mains. The tail is about an inch longer the the head is about a half inch taller then a Raptor 50 setup. So long blades are no problem.

I am one of the happy and proud owner of the Knight 50. Infact the group I fly with are all happy Knight 50 owners.

No glitches encountered at all. What we did was insert the whole length of antena wire through the nitro tubing and cable tie along the metal frame.

There are a few shots for the Knight 50 in my galleries.
