| So I'm wondering...
Is a 50 size heli gasser going to be ligher or heavier than your average 50 size nitro heli?
Also is a 50 size gasser going to be more or less powerful than a 50 size nitro heli?

First, I do not think anyone should expect any 50 sized gas helicopter to have near as good a power to weight ratio, or as light a disc loading as does any decent 50 nitro. Just as the G-231/G-260 Predator or other big gassers do not rate the same in these areas as do the 90 sized nitros.
I look to it to be a far less expensive heli to run, then my 50 nitros, just as my 710mm bladed Predator GS is compared to my Predator 90.
Will it be 3D capable, most probably, just as is the big Preddy. Will it be as capable of extreme 3D as the NX for example - I do not think it will have the power to weight or the light enough disc loading required to be so. Again, just as the big Preddy GS is compared to the Preddy 90.
But it will probably still be a credible alternative for anyone that is not into the more extreme type of 3D, and who is looking for something, in that size, that is far less costly to run then a 50 nitro. |
