E-sky King 3
From the better-late-than-never dept...
I was just browsing JAGHobbies.com for a part on my E-sky King 2 helicopter when I noticed the King 3! It's up for PRE-sale at the moment.
Judging from the specs, it looks like the King 3 is E-sky's response to the
popular Blade 400. The King 3 comes with a brushless motor, brushless ESC, a headlock gyro (looks like it's an updated version), 4 digital servos, a 3s 1500mAh LiPo, and a 2.4GHz radio system.
Some structural things of note, "improved whole rotor head design", "improved tail rotor control system", and the motor mount area has been strengthened. Definite areas that were in need of improvement on the King 2. From the photo, it looks like an aluminum swash is peeking out too.
I would venture to say that given the Blade 400, and now the King 3, the new heli enthusiast has excellent options to get into collective pitch helis. No more rate gyros, glitchy radio systems, or tail motors.
Looks pretty cool.
