I found some pictures It does look like a great Heli!
They have redisigned it to be a complete package capable of nice smooth flying to all out 3D, realy robust.

If I was looking at another 50 nitro this is the machine!

No you can simply choose whewther you want a belt driven kit, or a tourque tube kit is all, and from what I read you can convert your belt drive to TT as well by buying the conversion kit stand alone. Looks great to me!

I saw a video of this at the "N" toy fair.

This machine looks like the best 50 nitro out there this year.

Is this a new model not released yet? Or is it of the SE version?

This is a completely new model. There will be two kits available - a belt driven version, and a shaft driven tail version. We want to make sure the X50 is problem free when it hits the streets, so the release probably wont be for another 4 months or so.

Cheers,

Colin

Colin, thanks for coming to our fun-fly in Ottawa! I had no idea you would be coming, and I've never seen heli-flying like that in person! Awesome, AWESOME, flying, man!

I was the Tyler flying the 50cc Sukhoi, not the one who is in full scale heli-training.
