It's been in testing for a few weeks now with some of the team members and the manual is being tweaked as we speak. It shouldn't be too much longer before the first batch is made available to the public.

You will really like this addition to the N5c. For some it is not a must do but I do feel it's well worth it. I have numerous flights on it and I  feel like there was a small increase in available power and it autos even better than before.

Cheers
Alan

I agree Alan. Well worth it. I got several good flights on mine this weekend and it felt good.

Per Matt the first round should be shipping to dealers within the next couple of weeks.

Anyone having a some main gear rounding on the top edge with the torque tube setup.? Did I do something wrong ? Have about 12 flights and it flys great but doing some post flight preventive and saw the main gear a little round. Not touching anything it's not supposed to be.

My belt-drive N5c main gear looks like that, too, and I was wondering what causes it.

Would one of you mind posting a picture or two of what you're experiencing? I've been flying mine since pre-production & haven't had any wear that concerned me at this point.

I see the rounded top part of the gear. To me, since it appears the side carbon plates are in line, it looks like there may be excess pressure from the tail boom and/or torque tube pushing on the transmission gears which in turn are causing it to be unevenly pushing on the main gear with a lean from the transmission gears. 

Have you double checked that the end of the boom tube is exactly even with the inner boom clamp inside the frame? If so, you may want to back the tail box pressure away from the heli just a bit.
