The new design relocates the servos in an optimum position for direct to swash operation, and adds provision for larger 49mm diameter motors like the Scorpions and Turnigy 600. Adds additional equipment rack locations, and battery plate adjustment.

I built a Flybarless head by cutting an Align head down about 1" and boring it out.
I also made a phasing collar for it.

A Tarot ZXY controller was used. After sorting out the gain and deadband she flies like it is on rails.

Head is lower, and makes the helicopter look a lot sleeker. I like the "Milk-jug" canopies.Duplicolor Adhesion promoter allows them to be painted. with acrylic enamel.

Updated the ZXY to 4.01 firmware- man does it fly good now.
