My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Does anyone have any up to date info, of if, and when this helicopter might hit the US market?

Also, Will this be a main competitor helicopter, compared to what is on the open rc scene today?

I also asked this question in the JR thread, just to see the differences in answers.

Thanks

This makes absolutely no sense. Are you trying to ask "will this be competitive to the other 500E's on the market?"

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Your exacly right? from the looks of the VIDS I saw, this is one bad ass heli.

and, is the 700.00 dollar price tag expected to drop, once full production starts?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Nope that price is final.. JR is always above the rest of the market like Hirobo. but their mats and kits are a step above the rest.

However.. I do feel that this heli is doomed if they don't make it at least price competitive with the rest of the worlds 500s.

JR is pricing themselves out of the mainstream running on both the 500 and the Vibe 90SG.

Disappointing especially after the Vibe 50 was priced fairly mainstream.


Awesome heli... but craptstic price.. and I love JR stuff.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I would assume the quality is going to be amazing but with that price tag, and this economy, it is very steep. Looks like a nice bird though. I have not heard of a release date yet but I would expect it to be soon

It's a complex, costly, glow powered anti-gravity machine!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Geared different, for 6s instead of 4s. Different canopy. And for less money than you can get one from Japan for. Also, I just checked the due date and they moved it up to 3-28 I can't wait.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Yep, can't wait mine will be here monday. I have to work fast, my new Trex 450 pro will be here tomorrow. Rotodingus, why would I care?? It has different stickers, and would cost more to get from there. Never understood indiscriminate haters, why bother?

BTW Dingus, wouldn't surprise me if you just SURRENDER... LOL!
