New Product
Jiuchon 9C002, a Solo Pro clone?
Frank fjs made me attentive to this new heli, which bears a quite close resemblence to the Solo Pro.
I like the seperate servos, and the skids seem a bit more durable, but apart from that, I can't see any differences... http://www.helipal.com/jc-9c002-mini...e-edition.html |

The head, frame and tail assembly have a striking resemblance to the Solo Pro, but it looks like there are some subtle differences, perhaps even improvements.
Here are some pics of the swash and main shaft: The electronics are obviously different, separated servos means it may be cheaper to repair as you could just buy the servos on their own without needing to replace the entire main board. The main board on its own is listed at $23. Skids look stronger, battery has a different connector and is connected via a wired plug. The canopy seems to be held in place via screws which I don't like, but it's no big deal. Seems there are at least 3 colours available, you can see them here, in the parts listing: http://www.helipal.com/spare-part_jc...ers-parts.html Black one looks kind of cool: Spare parts seem cheap too. TX is reminiscent of an MSR RTF TX, looks okay but not great. It seems to come in 2 versions as well, IR and 2.4G. I like the price, and the fact that the standard RTF package includes both a wall charger and a USB charger, as well as spare main and tail blades and one of those crappy jewellers screwdrivers. I don't think there's much point in getting this heli if you already have a Solo Pro, I imagine they would be very similar. Still, I would really love to hear what it's like if someone here grabs one. |

The swash has 2 guidance pins?

Parts are on sale here, 3 canopies to choose from at $4.90 each: http://www.helipal.com/spare-part_jc...ers-parts.html
You can also get the matching tail boom, though it looks like some soldering is required. I might try some of these parts in my Solo Pro one day. |

This heli also seems to need a lot of screws...

Nah, too lazy to take it apart. I'll wait for something to break, then I'll have a look at the pivots, having too much fun flying it to bother at the moment. I bought a heap of spares thinking I would need them, and at this rate I don't think I'll ever need to open some of them.

mmmh, it seems there is no servo replacements in the spare parts listing, are they everlasting?

Helipal released a video:
Seems you can also charge the heli lipo from the TX, like the Solo Pro. Looks a little tame, and didn't appear to corner as well as a Solo Pro, but it's hard to judge from just one video. |
