    I got this Diabolo 550 a couple of weeks ago from Len...... It was already built, all I needed to add is an ESC and Vbar. I have been flying it any chance I can get..... And LOVE it!!! Its super smooth, I feel very comfortable with it.....

    Motor is a Savox 4760 1200kv
    MKS 9767 HV servos
    Mini Vbar with Vbar Sat
    Zeal tail baldes 80mm
    Rail main blades 556

    So I just got my Hobbywing 100a ESC and a Mikado Capacity senor. Next I will upgrade the Mini Vbar to a NEO......

    Anyway here are some pics.... Oh and im not 100% sold on the Orange! So it might change.....

      Very fracking nice mate! - I think the Diabolo is the absolute bomb - a true dream machine. IMHO the best boutique 6s 550 in Australia. Waiting for a flying thread....

      Couldn't agree more! the look and flight characteristics are second to none. Its strong, its light, well built and looks very cool. Your a lucky man - PS @simon, i like the orange boom! Matches perfectly!

      I had an orange boom on my protos 450 and had the tail rate at around 740. It was one of the factors that helped me piro flip at a pretty fast rate. Very visible at any position. I also used to color code.... ie landing gear green - so i could easily tell weather the heli was upright or upside down.

      Thought I would try out the Slow motion camera on my iphone, and what better way of doing it......

      Your slow motion looks like it was taken out of a documentary on "How RC Helicopters Fly"... I can just imagine some Attenborough type voice overlay on this.
      Liked it

      That looks super super cool @Ozzy Mozzy ...Ozzy Attenborough! has a nice ring to it. Heres the Naration..

      "And here we have the orange Diablo - and incredibly rare but well sought after species. This apex specimen is brightly colored showing no fear of being sighted by the ugly crash heligod. The Diablo Species often own human pets who pamper and drool over them constantly - and they have an incredible telekinetic ability to prevent the pet humans from buying large assets that would otherwise become a distraction to the wonderful Diablo."

      I could go on!!!
