So basically its going to look like this but with 3mm carbon rods instead of that flimsy looking wire used in this pic?







Make the canopy look better than the vibe 50 canopy (seems to be everyone pick in another area)

Hope it includes all the bling>>

Metal head, New metal fan, Metal tail gears, The new metal triple bearing tail with carbon fins, and Century will have one kick ass 50 kit to compete with the crowd!

Lighter, stronger, better ccpm control, Hope Century is listening because I seriously think if they can put together a kit like this out to market and keep the cost in the same range as the rest..

A Winner will be REBORN!

Regards,
Raven

Just like that, only with 3mm stainless steel pushrods, that i beleive are hollow It has a canopy similar, but roughly 20-25% larger than the swift 620se, after mine is painted, ill post a pic. I cant give you guys closeups of the finished product yet, but in a week, i will

As far as i know, the kit will come with all metal head, triple brg tail, CF tail fins ( i have the fins as well), duno about the fan and such.

Will the engine be easier to remove? Also, will the muffler be easier to install and remove? Have the mounts for the tail boom supports been moved?

The engine falls out with the 4 bolts removed, and the LG i beleive. The muffler, i had a little problem with, but i tried not to grind any of the CF frame away, if one were to do it, it would be perfectly accesible. The only issue i had was the bolts on the other side of the engine, the muffler fit was fine. I also have the new century 50 sized muffler...its bigger than a 90 sized hatori Slightly shorter, but larger in diameter. The answer on the tail boom supports...YES! They have been moved to the rear LD mounts, my pictures will clarify.

Ray,,

I did a lot of testing on my "Falcon & Raven" with long and short servo arms along with Tx Cyclic Settings, and on my Falcon "Mccpm" I tested a larger diameter Robbe Swashplate,,

what I found was the closer I could get my Tx Cyclic Settings to 100% (this includes ATV, Dual Rates and for Eccpm it included Cyclic Swash-Mixing) the better my helis feel on the Cyclic Stick,,

example,,
Falcon Mccpm,, ATV set at 100% and with Dual Rates set as close to 100% as possible,,

on the Falcon with the Robbe Swash I was able to get both ATV and Dual Rates to 100%,,


Raven Eccpm,, ATV 100% and with Dual Rates set to 100% with Cyclic Swash-Mixing set as close to 100% as possible,,

Raven,, on my Raven I tried moving the Balls in on the Servo Arms, I believe I moved the Balls in 3 or 4mm from what the manual calls for, now this put the Links from the Servos to the Swash on more of an angle, but the feel on the Cyclic Stick was/is super nice,, here my ATV and Dual Rates were all set at 100% while Swash-Mixing was around 88%,, (with the Balls set out farther where the manual calls for my Swash-Mixing was somewhere around 72 maybe 74 %",,

what it all comes down to is better Servo Resolution..

NOW, this new Eccpm system on the NX 50 with the servos mounted like the Hawk/Falcon, will allow us to use shorter servo arms, so we can raise the Swash-Mixing numbers, much like the Compass Sport is/has,,

you can see in my Raven photos the higher angle of the links to the Swash, but it flew fantastic !!
