Faithful to its tradition of innovation and design excellence Avant RC introduces the design that will set the pace of what FBL (Flybarless) heads will be like in the future. Only Avant RC could have designed such a beautiful head able to handle the hardest of hardcore 3D flying demanded by today's pilots and the new six generation FBL systems coming into the market such as the Total-G units.

Its dampening design is an exquisite balance of the most rigid feeling that you can do for extreme hard core performance and majestic ballet-like flight perfection. Incredibly fast forward flight speeds are possible with this head without the drawbacks seen in other fully rigid heads while trying to fly or auto smoothly. This is the head that your FBL system will feel at home with and respond with precision and ease.

A generous inventory of heads is being produced right now to have them available to the general public in a relatively short time frame. Price and availability will be announced shortly.

For all the registered pilots* assisting to the IRCHA Jamboree, Avant RC donated an electric eAurora 90 fitted with the new RigidCore™ head to be the IRCHA's 2010 Grand Prize!. Thanks to the participation of other top-of-the-line vendors the unit comes equipped with a new Spektrum Radio system,  the new Total-G FBL system, 45C Thunder Power Battery Packs, Castle Creations new ICE HV ESC, Radix 710 Blades designed for Flybarless and Radix Tailblades.

The head yoke is a work of art in itself and inherits the blend of performance and inimitable style that are expected of an Avant product.

This is without a doubt the most advanced FBL head to date and it certainly had to come from the most advanced and most imitated engineering skunk works center of the RC heli world Avant RC.

Avant RC
...the core in hardcore 3D

The Absolute Best and Sexiest 3D machine ever is now Electric too!

This is a helicopter that was designed from the ground up as a pure native electric heli. With the design of the Aurora Ultimate Avant re-defined the design of advanced 3D RC helicopters and now with the electric Aurora Avant is redefining what a 90-sized electric helicopter should be. This is the dream machine that sets the pace of what an electric 90 should be. Designed from the ground up as a true native electric helicopter with input from many seasoned 90 size electric pilots that were looking for the ideal 90 sized electric machine. The flying characteristics are simply unparalleled. It flies light and nimble yet with the precision of a contest machine.

The use of two inexpensive 600-class battery packs allows users to reuse their current 600 size packs as well as access the growing number of low cost battery packs becoming available. One of the concepts used in the design was minimizing damage to the packs. With that in mind we designed the mounting of the packs by attaching them to solid sections of the frames whose edges would take the brunt of a collision minimizing damage to the packs.

This innovative staggered side-slot battery placement makes it very quick and easy battery exchanges and also balances the left/right weight load to keep the cg centered and the moment of inertia minimal. The elongated right side Battery slot allows you to slide the packs back and forth to adjust for precise CG location.

This helicopter is truly the best 90 electric in the market. Unlike other designs this helicopter was designed from the start as a truly purebred electric helicopter.

The model uses the tried-and-true and very successful Avant CCPM system and the amazing Avant Programmable Head and combined them with the rest of a design that takes the state of the art in high performance 3D electric helicopters to a new level.

Features:

• Battery Pack protection

One of the most important features of this design is the protection of the power packs which are arguably one of the most expensive parts risked in a crash. The main power packs are attached to a solid section of the carbon fiber frame both with self-sticking Velcro and by the straps. Since collisions are absorbed mostly by the solid section damage to the packs is minimized during crashes.

• Wiring is all inside the frames
All wires and cables fit inside the frames leaving no clutter outside.

• Generously sized locations for motor and speed controller
The locations for the motor and speed controller are large enough to accommodate current and larger sized motors and ESCs leaving plenty of space for oversized outrunners and large heat-sinks.

Quick Update:

The ordering info was sent this week to the US dealers. We are currently allocating the kits from the US batch to dealers. Shipments should start the week after next.
