Velos 880 has landed

Post by pvolcko »

Not here at my house! Not at that price. The KSE set me back more than enough.

http://www.helidirect.com/velos-rotors- ... r-kit.html

$2k for a kit + blades. Add on 2 motors, 2 ESCs, 4 batteries (per set, normally I'd keep at least two sets on hand), 5 servos (4 in the cyclic instead of the normal 3), FBL unit, BEC/flight-pack (given power demands I'd go flight pack), sats and/or rx. And the trailer to haul it in... I kid, I kid... :)

Nope, not this guy.

One of the people that I'm sub'd to on Youtube has the Velos 880. He says that it weighs 19lbs when it all loaded up with the 4 packs. WOW!!! Here is a video of 1700 and 2000 rpm:
