Kyosho Caliber 30 ARF RC Helicopter

This is the Kyosho Caliber 30. The most impressive thing about this heli is the transmission. This is the first 30-class heli we know of to use belt drive for both the tail AND the main transmission. And it is the smoothest, least noisy transmission on any 30-50 size heli by a noticeable amount. The belt transmission also is pretty easy to set up compared to getting the gear mesh "perfect' on the pinion/gear arrangements. The other high points are significant also. The Caliber can - with no optional parts needed - be set up for ether mechanical OR electronic (CCPM) mixing. You will want to use CCPM if your radio allows it. The tail is a great design, with a dual pin slider that is pretty slop free - definitely better than the Raptor or Venture. The Caliber also is the only 30-50 class heli that includes as stock a boom mount for the tail servo. This has the undesirable side affect of making it very difficult to use a blade support for transport - be careful not to bend the TR pushrod or move the pushrod support when attaching the blade holder to the boom. The Caliber uses normal 30-sized blades instead of the tiny ones used on earlier Kysohos. They are 550mm with 4mm bolts, a set similar to raptor 30 blades is included in the kit.
