This is simply the most advanced, best flying rotorhead you can fly today. I flew one of these heads on a Avant at the Las Vegas fun fly. I mean, it is amazing, capable of any type of flying you want and you can fine tune it to the nth degree for your style/taste. I'm so in love! Me want, me want!

That is most certainly one fine looking load of hardware. Is it adaptable to other brands?

So Chris the question is: When are these guys gonna quit pushing the "parasitic" kit that requires a Freya donor (as someone else said) and put out an awsome kit all their own?

I would love to have an Avant but it requires 2 kits!

With the introduction of this killer head they gotta be real close to providing a complete kit on their own. Wish they would hurry.

I'm not sure GimbalFan, Augusto would have to answer that.

Right there with you Mark C, that would be awesome! All of Carbon Xtreme's stuff is just so top quality! Made in USA to boot, nice!

Hey... They could now sell that head in the Avant kit and then require you to only purchase a standard Freya kit since you no longer need the SST head.

Maybe?

I don't see anywhere on the site what mainshaft diameter the hub is. Certainly it could fit any bird with the right shaft. The rest is just linkage length, right?

Most advanced and most complex....is there any other head out there with a higher parts count? I am no where near able of out flying my simple little Raptor head. Can't imagine what I would do with the Carbon Extreme head.

"Can't imagine what I would do with the Carbon Extreme head."

You would install it, set it up, tune it to suit and fly it with pride. I'm measuring my mainshaft as we speak.

I don't think it's meant for mere mortals like us. I sure would like to have an Avant in the hangar. Too bad it probably wouln't feel much different to me than a Freya Evo!

huh? looks just like a MA tempest 3D head , it sure looks nice
but I like my MA Ion flybarless head with the VStabi, programable through the computer to Any Style my gallery for more pictures

Yes, it resembles that of a MA head and uses some design principles that are tried and true, but this head is vastly more adjustable and more precisely designed. The quality of materials surpasses that of MA, which I thought was impressive since MA has always been the cream of the crop when it came to quality.

Anyway, This rotorhead may seem complex(was to me at first), but it really is simple with the 5 pre-selected settings for your taste. Then, once you understand what you want after that, the manual tells you what to do for more of this, or less of that.

I don't find the parts count to be overly extensive. Every part and spacer is where it needs to be, no more no less. By looking at it, I could probably build this head for the first time in about less than 25 mins. Probably 15 mins once I am acquainted where things go by heart.

I don't know about the VStabi stuff, but in my experience there is no substitute for actual head geometry that dictates the way a rotorhead truly responds.

This head is not made for people who can simply out fly a Raptor head, which Alan Szabo Jr. can't seem to out fly either. Rather, embrace it as a flavor of the hobby and helicopters. How boring would it be to have only one type of helicopter out there? You don't have to be a heli god to enjoy this type of precision and quality.

Heck, I would probably buy this head and just put it on display cause its just so awesome looking!

I smell Romance in the air, mixed with nitro.

I'll stick to the TT hardware I've got for my R50, QUK if it ever gets trashed, but this will definitely be at the top of the list for a future 90.

Same shaft size, by the way, as an R50 (10mm). Oh, so tempting...

Yea, I do wonder if it will work. I know my buddy set up a R50 with a Fury head before, so it may be possible! I know one thing, it would be one lucky Raptor thats for sure!

Bling is bling -- I care only for function, but that there hardware is the best of both worlds. Bling Blang BLUNG says I.

I think that upgrade heads still have a place, even for a raptor. If you mean by 'outfly' that the machine crashes if you do maneuver X, you're right. But flying characteristics DO help the flying. In some sense, you outfly the head as soon as you need to correct for its unwanted characteristics

if i were to get this i'd just probably get the avant kit,head and then whatever evo parts are needed. almost 80% of the evo isnt needed anymore in this config. truly the nicest looking heli i've seen

and more precisely designed. The quality of materials surpasses that of MA,


What does more precisely designed mean anyway? Are their tolerance lower? Does their aluminum relect sunlight better? If I did not know better, it looks a lot like a Tempest head. My guess is it will have a flybar cage soon, as soon as they realize that flybar will break if anyone flies hard 3-D with it.

Thats why they have a heavy duty flybar for hard 3D. Trust me, this head has already been tested to the absolute extremes for 3D.

By more precisely designed, I meant geometrically.

The aluminum shines much better than anything from MA too, added bonus
