Looks great but the price seems a little steep with no engine or speed control. That puts it considerably higher than a Logo 10 or even the Logo 10 3D or Carbon. The Quick Japan EP8 is also an all metal heli but is only $300.

Nice looking heli - shame about the name.

I keep thinking of iced tea, when I read its name.

true but it's all carbon and top of the line aluminum parts.

including a special magnesium alloy pieces.

This will redefine the state of the art.

Nice Bird!

WOW - This electric heli sure looks like a winner!

The price tag could be a little lower?

Just my opinion.

Damn..

This is what I hoped Align was bringing out!!! Exactly the right size, but WAY too expensive...Jeff, I love Hirobo stuff, but as much as this looks like the real deal, I'll have to keep on lookin..

I do, look at a Quick Japan EP-8..$275 all bling, zero plastic, same size. And a CF frame is $80. The Lepton price looks outrageous to me.

Warning...This hobby is very addictive and may damage your wealth

Cool...

What is with the CLEVIS on the tail though.

Out of my price range for an electric of this size though.

Nice to see Hirobo coming into the electric era.

z11355,

The price of the SE includes motor and ESC. I don't believe the Lepton price includes either of these. Also, like others have said the EP8 is an all CNC heli for half the price.

I am huge Hirobo fan and have been waiting for this heli but at that price I'll have to pass.
