So I hope admins will let me do this. Please PM me if there is any issues, there was another beyonder who had a similar predicament with i think iphone skins and I think they let it slide so I'm hopin you'll grant me the same leniency in my predicament.
Long story short I picked up two cartons of 18 units/carton to get a bit of a discount ordering a bunch of these for work colleagues, family and friends and myself. I found this heli online in early Feb of this year after being a little stoned with some buddies who reminded me how awesome it was to fly my old crappy 2CH Pico Z heli when we were baked lol. So naturally I looked on the internet found this awesome guy and bought one for some intense concentration indoor flying through clouds of happy smoke :D. Everyone else who saw it wanted one so I ordered two cartons.
It's the newest model just released this year with a built in accelerometer to control the yaw axis and it seriously flies like a dream. Metal robust frame takes LOADS of crashes and still flies great, a five year old could fly this thing a great intro heli or casual flier. Anywho, a few people bailed on their orders so I'm left sitting on 10 of these things so I thought maybe some beyonders want a sweet, inexpensive, high quality fun toy to fly baked out of their skulls or even sober as a judge. :thumbsup:
I'm trying hard not to sound like a sleazy kiosk salesman in the malls but seriously, this is not like the cheap ones you see at the malls or chinatown. The way it flies speaks for itself. Strong quality build. Once you see it fly and hover and the precision of the digital control you'll see the appeal.
a vid of someone else flying I'll try and get a vid up with better camera work so you can see how steady and precise it flies.

-The remote takes 6 AA
-the nice thing is this one has a built in LiPo and a USB charger so you have the option to charge off USB to conserve your remote batts or if you got no comp you can charge off the remote.
-It flies off Infra red control and the charger has two channels built in as does each heli. So you can sync a heli to channel A and one to Channel B to fly two together. Color is strictly aesthetics.
-3 Channels full 3 dimensional control. Forward/Backwards Left/Right Up/Down
-also has a trim knob to eliminate any wander in the yaw axis
-charge time is roughly 45mins for a 10-15min flight time
I'm asking what I'm into em for $40/per unit.
All Brand new in box yellow color is all I got.
xheli.com has em for US$30 + roughly $15 shipping and theyre also out of stock.

I know I'm a nerd but for all you other car nuts/nerd types theyre really fun to mod. I've done a lot of weight reduction on mine to increase flight dynamics response and longer 15-20min flight times, replaced the flashing blue/red LED with a hyper white and am CNC-ing replacement components out of robotics grade 1mm Carbon Fiber to replace the metal frame components. Also taking the spring out from the controller to have better control of the throttle is a must too :bigpimp:
in closing - Buy my shit! I got 10 of these friggin things stacked in my office and I dunno what to do with them. theyre cheap and awesome:thumbsup:
please PM
