      It looks like $650 minus the Heligod's membership discount! Which seems really good.

      I think that's correct, maybe 550 to match the model

      I think this heli is a GREAT heli, especially for people entering the sport, or wanting a good capable practice machine. They will go like hot cakes, Kudos for you @Fredo

      I recon they would be a good heli all round... Electronics are a bit on the crappy side, More so the servos, But would do the job for sure.. Gotta keep in mind it's a budget setup.. Still all the same i reckon out of the box it would fly well. I'm really thinking about one ...

      I hope they fly well because that canopy and tail fin are feral. They look like something that was designed in the 60's for the Astronaut suit, but rejected by NASA because it is so painfull on the optical nerve that it would frighten away any alien life forms that might be encountered.

      lol, Yer they look pretty bad... but i'm sure aftermarket ones are about.. I dont care for the look, all i care about is how they fly.. if they have a consistent control feel, then it's a go !
