Guys, I been toying with this idea for alittle while now and just wanted to share with you all and see what everyone thinks.
As you know the size difference between a 450 heli and a 500 is very noticeable and the same goes between a 500 to a 600. Now...once you reach the "big daddy" of a 700, the size differences from the 600 is someone minimal. The biggest things I've noticed is the lenght of the tail boom being longer, the main frame a bit taller but not by much which in turn makes the head sitting alittle higher. Also, the width of the main frame is slightly wider as well. Other than those differences I just pointed out, the skid horse and pipes are the same as the 600 which is why it almost looks kind of funny because the 700 suppose to be a bigger heli but not if it shares the same skids.
This started the wheel turning in my little brain and wonder if a set of bigger skids would make a 700 size heli bigger, well...atleast visually it would have a bigger stance sitting next to a 600 and thats the goal I am after. The only problem is that I can't seem to find any skids bigger than for a 700 size heli. At this point, the only heli that I know of that is bigger is the Logo 800, the "Logo Xtreme" but I've watch all the videos and checking out all the available pics. on the net...I realize the skids on it isn't really that big at all. If you get a chance to see it for yourself, it actually looks a bit funny cause its such a huge heli and the skids on it is really small comparing to the size of the heli. If anyone have any ideas, please feel free to post them here......Thanks!
