Hmmmmmm interesting heli. 1st thought was - looks like it's got a high CG. Then I looked at the specs, bloody hell, all up weight is 3.95Kg, 0.8 litre tank, bags of space for electronics. YUMMY

Sweet heli....I like just looking at it!! Looks like the gear is also a frame structural component. I'm sure there are many new functional design feature as well, Love it...I need a garage soon!

Looking at those pictures it looks like someone tried very hard to make a helicopter very complicated with a high part count.
You are very wrong my friend. The heli has a lower parts count than a Raptor 90. I know because I have owned both. It is very easy to work on and the controls are extremely smooth and slop free. The main frame assembly is alluminum as is the entire main head and tail rotor assembly. The standard kit comes with a one-piece composite landing gear/side frames and radio tray. The rx and battery are enclosed in the radio tray and very well protected. It is setup as a 90 size nitro (I had a YS 91 with an MPII). The tail configuration is the smoothest that I have ever flown. I wish more manufactuers would adopt this tail configuration. It is very precise with zero slop.
This thing also flies like it is on rails. It flew just as good as my fully blinged out Tempest did. Anthony Jaeger from Team Jr flew this year at Mayday and was impressed with the quick response of the cyclics.
I truly rgret getting rid of mine and I may get another one soon.

I have a tonne of pictures of the Revolution in my gallery including pictures during the building process. This is the lightest 90 size available on the market and the aluminum frame has got to be the strongest out there. You could probably park a SUV on without bending it.
That is a great looking heli. I'm so happy to finally see a German machine where they didn't try to make the ugliest canopy possible. Very nice. It would also be great to have a spare parts price list.
