Does anyone have any info on the New Henseleit RDNT flown by Russ Deakin at
Sandown?

What do you want to know ?
Revolution have developed new sideframes to give a more conventional layout
to the heli, and allow 'normal' undercarriage and canopy. Pretty much the
rest of the heli is the NT as we all know and love. Revolution cut the
sideframes for Henseleit for the regular NT, so when preparing the kit they
are just going to swap them out for the new ones, and a canopy which they
are designing. The only other significant change is an anti-rotation
mechanism for the swash.
Revolution said it was about a month away from production at Sandown, but I
haven't heard that it has been released yet. I guess anytime now...
Price was going to be on a par with the regular NT (why wouldn't it be ?),
so about £850 for the kit.
Also worth bearing in mind is the new 3DNT that will be making an appearance
sometime in the next few weeks. Big change is the tail pitch mechanism, and
tail blade holders from what I have heard
Carps.

Thanks Andy
That's exactly what I wanted to know.
I looked at the Henseleit website & couldn't understand how there was not
mention of a new model which well passed the prototype stage.

Tim,
take a trip to revolution, I saw the prototype there a few weeks
ago - looks like one hell of a heli and the canopy seems to be done -
similar to a millenium.

It's a modified Futura Obe-one. It's like it's grown wings:-)
