So when's the Knight 600E gonna be available here in the US. Or is it and I just can't find it. Anybody know the cost of the kits. Looking to get the 6s kit. I'd like to get another .50 elec. since I sold my Align 600... But I want to stick with the Knight series..

Yea I tried to get on Modefo's site as well and could not get anywhere. I know he has them as Infina Models shipped them there last week.

Ya I tried to check them out a while back and it would not let me in... Do you know if they come with the motor & esc as well. Also do you know the KV for the 6S and 8S motor's and what amp esc would be needed for a 6s setup and a 8S setup... Thanks I don't know the whole elec. heli motor and esc combo matching deal yet. Thanks, George

how come? if your abusing the heli then 8s is the way to go. 6s increases the current for the same power working your packs harder shortening flight times and cycle life of the pack.

the knight in that video has a 6s and 2s pack in series to give 8s.

I was going that route because I have some 6s packs. I thought it over about the 8s but keep bouncing back and forth between the 2 I prefer to use 1 8s pack then 2 packs... I still might go the 8s route the packs are not too expensive.

Anyone hear anything else about a release date on the Atom 500?

I must add that i have just ordered the 8s version.I fly with Matt and Ade and having seen matts in the flesh its deffo the version to go for.I have been flying 6s T Rex 600`s for over a year now and although its an adequate setup,it does cane the Lipos a bit and flight times tend to suffer.

Its very little effort to pair a 6s pack up with a 2s pack to get the most out of this model.You can still use the 6s ones in a Rex 600 etc.

Having seen Matts for real and viewing Ades video its obvious to me that pairing packs up is very viable.Pack choice for me are the Revolution ones supplied by Aurorra in the UK.

All in all,the Knight 600E is a very well laid out heli,i like the extra support on the motor pinion and its appears that the supplied motor is rather good

I just got a 8s E3D and was flying it last night. WOW...I use to have a 3D nitro and had forgotten how great they fly. Its a keeper!!!
With the power that the stock motor produces on 8S this thing is off the hook!!
