Shape S8

The Shape S8...
is a real 800 electric helicopter and a pioneer in this young branch of model helicopters.


With a main rotor diameter of 1795mm the heli provides powerful appearance that makes others pale in comparison.
Despite the enormous size it was developed to make any trade-offs in terms of stability and agility.
This is reflected by the massive main gear with a 20mm diameter one-way bearing case for example.

Limits of performance are currently not known.
The drive system outclasses all other popular drive systems in the market.
Because of the conceived construction it is possible to realize light and energy-saving setups from 6kg as well.
Therefore it is suitable to every requirement, from after work pilots up to 3D-competition pilots.

Parts
All aluminium parts are mortised with the full-carbon main frame plates to obtain an absolutely precise position tolerance of the individual components.
This ensures highest accuracy and maximum stability for the main frame.

The components-mountings for motor and esc, are arranged to get an optimum airflow for today′s heavy duty power systems.

The Shape S8 impresses with its clear and functional design.
It was ensured that all components like the new MICROBEAST Plus HD, RX and servos are arranged for very easy installing and almost invisible wiring.

Style
The Shape S8 is available with five several canopy designs.
The unique and handmade canopies are painted with airbrush design in highest quality.

Features

• Oval massive tail boom in drop shape with internal tail rotor linkage.
• Push-Pull linkage to discharge swashplate servos because of the extreme positioning forces.
• 140° Swashplate for especially high controlling precision (also available with optional 120°swashplate)
• All aluminium parts are anodized for best optical longevity and high quality appearance.
• Carbon parts are made from high-grade full-material.
• Pinion with integrated counter bearing cones for using motors with short motor shafts (max. 32mm Motor shafts)
• Easy motor installation and maintaince because of above mounting with only three screws.
• Airbrush canopies available in different color combinations.
