    The new anticipated 500 size heli from compass. The original atom is still an incredible work horse and a power house in the air, even with its NQR geometry it flys well!

    The exo500 will be showing at this years Rotor Live 12-13th in Germany.

    Quotes from Seb :" Hello Guys, It will be something really new. Some facts: - 10mm hollow mainshaft - full belt driven - able to take all kinds of blades - rotor head is a mix of Chronos geometry and warp - tail control rod is invisbile - no sab boom style - very new design on the frame and canopy - easy for maintenance - 6mm ultrashort tailshaft - smallest part count of all 500 right now Greatings Sebastian

    The battery will be attached to the frame with a special quick release and can be changed in like 3s without removing the canopy. Most batteries up to 4500mAh will fit. Maybe even some smaller 5000th"

    "Hello,

    it is htd 3mm for the tailrotor. The mainpully is sts 2mm and the belt is higher than on the HD500 and the pulley is also a little bigger (150T).

    Sebastian"

    "At the ROTOR Live we will not have a kit for sale but we will have a price for the model.

    The tail blade grips will be aluminium. The plastic one is in small production indeed more expansive, but in bigger volume the aluminium is for sure. The reason I used alumium is the big bearings. I don't wanted to have way bigger grips on that small helicopter. The bearings and the hub is the same as we use on the Chronos, 7HV Ultimate, 6HV Ultimate and 550 Ultimate.

    And YES the grips and the slider are working on the other helicopters too, but need another tail shaft. We will offer it after the release! Some of our team will test it on the Chronos first.

    @kpod: It is fully belt driven. We use a STS 2mm main belt and HTD3 tail belt."

    "well it is more Chronos with something totally different.
    Geometry is almost as perfect as possible."

      Agreed. This new design will take the 5.5 size heli to whole new level. First of its kind in so many ways, I cannot believe the AUS forums are so quite about it... Cant wait to smack this thing around.

      Based on my observations at IRCHA and questions to Sebastian at the event, the monocoque frame is molded and cured in an autoclave. This means it was molded under strict conditions in terms of vacuum and heat. Racing car parts are done in this manner. Also, the frames in the prototypes I've seen are approximately 2.0mm CF. I think the frames are going to be extremely strong because of the autoclave process and thickness.

      What do you mean?? A green canopy in the grass when laying down the smak adds a nice level of difficulty to a nice looking machine - for you that is @smakmeharder , a true smak monster

      this kit is quality all over, probably the most innovative heli to date. Really easy to work on also for a smaller class heli. looks indestructible, not sure there will be many broken frames.
