New E7 Head Block
« on: January 30, 2013, 07:12:40 PM »
Hey guys,

I've been working on a few new products that I think you will enjoy. One of them is a new head block for the guys who enjoy the lowered head look. This head is very similar to the E5 design which incorporates the swash follower arms into the head block and has a head axle pivot insert for better collective response + cyclic control. I hope to have this head block available by the end of February.

Here are some pics....

Very nice! Looks like it uses the same spindle? What's the overall blade height difference between this setup and the stock head When mounted in the lowest position?

It depends on which hole you were using on the old head. I was using the lowest hole.
From the lowest hole, it will drop the head approximately 25mm or 1in.

Thanks,

Matt

I know you mentioned possible boom strikes if one went too low with the modifications.  I'm guessing, based on your pictures, that the one I did with the original E7 head block should be okay?

Looks nice, is this something we can use on the N5c as well?

I like the design. Will this lowered head require stiffer dampers, or have minimum headspeed, and maximum pitch requirement to prevent clearance issues?

The original post suggested Feb. as approx. release time.. Its almost April, how far off are we from their release?

Also, will the full E6/E7 kits be released with the newer head block or will it be an upgrade option only?
