    velos 880 (2).jpg So what new helis are due for 2016? Anything new and exciting about to be released? 2015 saw release of a unique heli called the velos. So who can let us know about anything new on the horizon?

      ...... and certainly better than a Blade 180CFX! I can't wait to see what the G170 looks like.

      Don't get too excited just yet. Nothing is confirmed, and I had a report last night that this G170 could be a hoax.
      I also have a report that the next new Goblin could be a Nitro.
      Only time will tell at this point.

      Hmm it could be a hoax.. But - its the next logical step for SAB. The nitro will come anyway. And who the hell would fake a Goblin 170 box with hologram sticker and barcode..? :D

      I did the math how big this G170 would be starting from my G570 geometry. Would be nice to find a setup for the following measurements:

      Heli lenght 319mm
      Heli height 98mm
      Heli width 42mm

      Main blades 170mm
      Tail blades 28mm
      Main Rotor 380mm
      Tail Rotor 77mm
      Main rotor head 41mm
      Tail rotor head 21mm

      Max. motor size 15.5 x 16.7 mm
      Max. Lipo 15 x 18 x 60 mm

      Weight with electronics 715 g ?
      Weight with elec. and lipo 950 g ?

      Maybe the weight is not proportional.. Seems to be to much..

      What Servos, Motor and ESC would we need for this mini G?

      Yeah, that weight spec is heavy. Just as an example: a Blade 180CFx has similar specs, but has a specified flying weight of 190g. I'm sure a G170 would weigh a bit more with a better quality frame.... a better power system would also add a few grams. I'm thinking 210g maybe.

      I'm thinking it was a hoax until someone from SAB logged on here and saw Iggy's post and went hey this looks like a good idea, send these specs to the machining department.

      SAB should do it....
      If we omit anything with a direct-drive tail motor, and include anything in that size class that is a major brand name, and that's actually 3D capable, what's left? Blade 180CFx? (Lynx has a belt drive tail conversion now!) TRex 250?
      There aren't many options.
      Walkers V120D02S? (Just for the hell of it)
      A 170 size kit Heli would surely sell... entry level or not!!

      I wonder how quick the banshee 850 will be. Nice find @ChopsyWA (as allways). Both helis look really exciting
