Saw some pics of the Vibe 50 in RC Heli. The Xtreme looks very similar to me.

I got a helicopter for my girlfriend,
It was a good trade!

Extreme

On the extreme it looks like the mechanical setup of the servo bellcranks is better. It looks like the way they are placed makes all of the rods from the bell-crank to the swash the same length which makes setup easier and interaction easier to avoid.

Not sure why heli manufactures these days would oversee this simple and effective design concept?????

Hi Kirk,

Yes the servo rods from the bell cranks to the swash are all the same length, I was able to get -/+ 15 quite easily during setup.

I see alot of diff stuff,I just know this much that Extreme 50 looks badass as both realy do,there's just somthing there on the extreme that says go for it Buzz!That head assm looks sweet also.
I also like the belt drive better on a 50 better than the shaft drive,of course thats just my opinion.

I'm not sure what's the fuss all about.

I see a sweet programmable head on the X-50 coupled with a 4mm flybar, a new and efficient tail, well supported engine mounting, good layout and excellent skids. And it's out in prototype testings earlier than even the Vibe 50 is officially announced.

Given the amount of rectification issues, read $$$, I have seen my fellow flyers gone thru with their other helis, esp the most popular Trex600N, the X-50 is simply a steal!

End of the day, it's simply going for what appeals to you most.
There's no need to compare what's based on what. If you ask me, I would say Vibe was based on X-50 instead.

Not Alike

"Xtreme3D" you are correct about the Hurrican and the Airskipper they are alike, but now...The real deal! Stop Guessing! the Xtreme 50 is not anything like the Vibe 50. it is a machine of it's own. People should really put them next to each other and compare them before posting,
I have........ they are very different.
