My Posts This: Topic Forum | Belt driven tail drive systems are generally more complicated and higher weight. While true that they do offer advantages in tail response over the motor driven tail, they are not neccessarily the best choice for relatively lightweight/simple micro class heli models like the the BCPP. The belt drive tail would also require a more powerful main motor (likely brushless) which would significantly impact the package price.
That said, the BCPP is unique in that it allows for plug-and-play upgrade to a heading lock gyro using the stock radio system. When using a heading lock gyro, the motor driven tail of the BCPP actually performs quite well. It holds suprisingly well during stationary flips, backward flight and more. |
