Quick Bat 50 (2008)

  

Next generation nitro machine the Bat 50  (initially called the Quick Bat Copter 50) was designed with 3D capability as a priority.  The redesign also included triple bearings for the main shaft so as to ensure minimal flexing of the drive train during 'hard' collective operation.  Available in the standard Sport G10 and Pro Carbon versions along with options of the CNC tail upgrade and the tail shaft drive system.
