NEW: Avant Aurora 90 Electric at 2009 IRCHA Jamboree

Touted as a true “native electric 90 design”, the Avant Aurora 90E officially splashed onto vendor row late Thursday.  The 90 electric market has really taken off this season and Avant has answered those wishes with a electric flavor of their popular nitro heli.

The Aurora 90E features a fixed electric gear ratio that is designed for approx 500kv motors in mind.  The heli on display this week had a Scorpion 4035-500 motor installed along with a Castle HV110 ESC.

One thing different about the Aurora 90 Electric is the battery mouting and placement.  Similar to the MA Ion-X which mounts both batteries inside the frame on one side up front.  The Avant mounts one battery on each side of the frame.  Both batteries are surrounded by frame and in mild crashes will be protected from damage to the battery packs.

Jason Bell with Team Avant is on hand this weekend to perform some demo flights with the new 90E on Friday and Saturday.  Check back for more pics and flight video on the site very soon.
