Contact Jan at jan@henseleit-helicopters.de and ask to be put on the waiting list. Once your name comes up you will receive an e-mail from Jan with an order speadsheet and pricing. When I bought mine the price was 750 Euro for the kit without V-Bar. Pricing forthe 2010 version is going to be increased a bit due to some changes Jan has made. From what I've heard the entire 2010 production run is sold out but there is always the chance that some folks will drop off the list.

I wonder why you paid only EURO 750,-. AFAIK the price for the 2009 version was 888,- and is raised now to 980,- (without vbar).

No VAT for export customers. Jan is nice about this. Some German shops I have bought from in the past charged VAT. The new pricing includes the pinion gear counter bearing which was an option in 2009.

Cheers....

Ooops! You're right of course. Lucky you....

I guess you won't get the heli without the bearing anymore. Which is kinda of unfortunate for some buyers, if they want to use the Scorpion 4035 (or maybe the new 4225 when they're really out).

The 2010 version also included the new main rotor housing, new blade grips, new tail drive and some other minor mods. Maybe they will already be certified for the mini vbar then.

I'm trying to get a used one for a while now, but they are usually sold within a few minutes. Maybe the situation get's better when Jan delivers more in march...

I am fortunate enough to own a 2009 version TDR and should be receiving my 2010 version shortly.

Does anyone have some photos detailing the new mods for the 2010 version?

Yes we don't pay the 20% tax so its a awesome price!!!

Das ist ein superkool video!

My favorite TDR video at the moment is Timo Wendtland in Bebra:

The sound is just awesome...

How is parts support? Do any US dealers (online or physical) carry TDR parts?

No one in the US has parts but Jan has complete range in stock, parts is no1 priority so do not worry. All suppliers in Europe supply for 10 years also.
