it is way more unstable. It is the same Tx. as the 5 bladed MD heli. At the time, DX6i. Im not on a DX7. The 4-bladed head is so twitchy though cuz it is just sloppy... It is a lightningHeli and i dont like it at all. The pent-blade head is sooooo much better.
IT IS!!! I ended up tracking it with only 2 blades at first, then the other 2 blades seperately, then did my best on all 4 at the same time. Had to use some wide white tape and place it at different distances from the end.... threw the balence off a bit but all was well once i got the tape off of it.
Cause with these heads, instead of the power going through the flybar (which can rock and provide a little amount of stability) the rods go straight from the swash plate to the blade grips, it means it is a heck of a lot more sensitive, I can see this in your video! be careful you don't crash, not using gyros, you wouldn't want to track it up again!

The 4-bladed head is the lighning heli head. I can not suggest you get it though. A lot of slop in the swash stay which is why it is soooo damn twitchy.
Computerized Numeric Cutting - basicly machined aluminum parts.... Thanks on the compliment... The whole setup is Carbon/Glass fiber and bare aluminum parts.
did the four blade head, directly fit on the belt cp??? or you had to make some mod??

Nice, looks a bit more skittish than your 5 bladed CP.
What Transmiter you using?

Very cool. Where did you get the 4 blade head system? Did you have to make it or did you find it to buy?

I like your color scheme. What does CNC stand for?

wow... seems light and easy to manoeuvre. I know CNC as Computerised Numeric Control... but the control part never made sense to me. thanks.

That's a computer controlling the movement of a milling machine.
Poster: are you saying there is no gyro stabilizing the tail?

No, I have a GY401 on the tail... just nothing on the cyclic (rotor head).
It is stable when the pilot of not afraid of smashing it into something in a small confined area, lol.
And for the record, it is by NO MEANS easy to maneuver. It is very nimbal and capable, however it will get away from ya in a big hury.
