David, I thought I heard that they were testing a prototype 90 at XFC. Thought this was a pic of it. Anyway, that name would be killer. Here's some more, THESE don't look like a 50 though:

The XFC pix are of the new 90 There are only a few prototypes. Saw some fly at the Detroit funfly last week.

Hey Brian. Yeah, those are the 90. Bobby confused you with the canopy. The 50 canopy for the time being is used on the 90. So he crossed out the Bandit and decided to call it Assasin 90 for the time being. The new 90 is sweeeeeet.
I'm sure it will be...I would LOVE to see a pic without the canopy on... Probably by the time it's released I'll be able to justify buying a new heli...still love the fury though =)

First pic looks like the 50. I'm basing that on the fuel tank. If you look at the tank of the heli being carried that is a Stratus tank. So the first pictured would be the 50 and the other's are the 90. That's my guess.
As far as the pics go, the only real way to tell the 50 apart fro mthe 90 is the flybar carrier. Look close and you will see what I mean.

Lou, what's different about the flybar carrier?

Look at the arms on that extend out to the paddles, the 90 size in about a .5" longer. Also, like saleh mentioned, skids, fuel tank, and tail are the others.

Back off man, I'm a scientist.

I think the 50 has a shorter flybar so it would make sense for the supporting rods to bit a bit shorter as well.
I think the sure way to find out it to take a look at the Razor assembly manual and the Stratus manual and look at the part numbers. I say this because I thought the only differences between those two heads were shorter anti rotation pins on the Razor head and a shorter flybar.

you can tell the diffrance from the skids - fuel tank - tail
So, you can tell the difference from the Skids - fuel tank - Tail - Flybar carrier.
I got to check one out at XFC. I did not see one with the hood off, but I can tell you it is a direct servo linkage to the swash. No bell cranks or spline supports. I am not positive but I think Bobby was flying his with a set of BLS 451's. I would wager it takes a beefy servo to handle those kinds of torque loads. Crack package?
