Not alot you could do better on the Vibe 50 anyway lol.

Looks like a 50 size version of the VSG. I wonder what the price would be like. If its around of a little over the current Vibe 50...I will sure be getting one

Probably more, wish I could see if the tail was belt or shaft driven though, can anyone tell from those pics?

I do like the head that is on it. I will probably convert my current vibe head to that one if it is available.

Frames, servo layout and Radio/Gyro tray is different. I hope they keep it shaft driven. Even if its around 800$ I'll defiantly get one. Frames still look like G10.

oh you can be sure it will be expensive!

I would think near 700 for this one. MA fury 55 flybarless retails for 689 so you bet this kit will be near if not over 700.

It means Never Eat Xylophones...or it could be something else?

It looks like a serious contender in my next heli list. I was thinking about an X50 but this looks very tempting. I like the idea of 140 deg ccpm given it's inherent advantages.

We need closeup pics please

Yeh, closeups, give's some closeups.

Looks great... but do I need another 50? hhhmmmm

Just done that E conversion on one of my Vibe50's. All good, see other post. Hopefully this is maybe like the Rave ENV and can be N or E straight out of the box.

My Vibe50 is fitted with FBL Kasama FBL head - nothing JR will make could possibly be better IMO.

With the current ex. rate of the Yen - prices on JR equipment are un-competitive to say the least. And they WILL NOT sell any new models at a "low" intro price again as they did with the V50.

I'm afraid it will have a low following in the western world (they will of course sell loads in Japan as usual).

No, You can't find any Vibe, 50 or 90, in Japan. It's a JR decision with the US distributor. Some regrettable agreement for money reason.

Beside be sure it's shaft driven. The rotorhead uses some of the metal parts of the Airskipper 50 V2 Pro 2010. But not all of them. Flybar cage and the small levers on the grips are still plastic as far as i can see. They are metal too on the Pro 2010. You can have the parts right now in aluminum grey, black or red. As you like.

I like the shape of the canopy! It looks a little more like the 90SG!

the all metal head looks very nice

It's a complex, costly, glow powered anti-gravity machine!
