The frame setup on this helicopter is very unique. It is divided into three major components: The upper frame, lower frame , and servo frame sections. The upper frame houses the main gear, shaft, and collective system. The lower frame houses the engine area, and fuel tank. These frame sections are connected via aluminum cross members and bearing blocks and together produce a machine with incredible strength to handle today's powerful engines and rigorous flight requirements.

Based on the Blackstar, the servos are rearranged for a push-pull dual linkage set-up. This set-up not only reduces slop, but extends servo life. This set-up makes use of all torque of the servo, giving you strong, precise control over your helicopter.

This machine comes standard with a constant tail drive , and auto-rotation clutch. This is a must-have feature for FAI flying where constant rudder control is necessary during auto-rotation. All gears are CNC cut from delrin plastic for greater strength and precise gear mesh.

Moving into the engine area, you'll find a heavy duty clutch that is nearly indestructible The clutch shoe is made from layered steel plates. These clutch shoes are retained by spring plate that controls engagement of the clutch. Even in the worst of accidents, the only parts that need replacement are the spring plates. The clutch lining is made of a material very similar to brake lining on your car. The wear characteristics of this lining is much better than that used in most helicopters.

Among other features the Blackstar has a shaft within shaft collective system. This means that the mixing base is supported by a control shaft that is inside of the main shaft. The main shaft is slotted to allow free movement of the collective base.

The GAS DL has the same mechanics as the DL 60, however the kit comes with a 32 cc. gas engine with two starting systems. First is the top start like the DL 60, and a recoil starter. The helicopter is somewhat larger, with extended side frames,a 1 meter boom, and requires larger blades. (Hi-Products Big 1800's) included with kit. All other aspects of this machine are of the distinguished TSK quality.
