Anyone know when this guy will be out? For sale in the United States, and cost?

This lil guy might just be the ticket for those rainy days....

Will be interesting to see the first flights of this micro!!! I have a walkera #4 but not this size of one... Might have to get my hands on one when they are available in the US...

At this size and weight, this heli is almost indestructible with a few mattresses below. Damn, did walkera copy this design or what? If they really designed this from scratch, they really deserve some rep.

The idea is the same as for a Micron v2 (let's hope the price tag will be a walkera one)
The design is basically a 5#6 (or rather a 5G6 here) with a single rotor and AC tail motor

Looking forward to a resseller too..

PS: thanks for the topic sketch ^^

Side note "Let's learn how to google":
Google is your friend yes, but how to find suh weird things as "4#3" that could also be "4-3" or even "4/3" "4-3"... and thus, without finding things that you do not care about (eg: "chapter 4-3" of a thesis)
The answer is "proximity search"
eg: type

Code:

"dragonfly 4 3"~10

in google this will search all pages containing 'dragonfly' AND '4' AND '3' within 10 words of each ohers
Quite useful eh?

ApachePilot · Aug 12, 2007, 04:11 PM

Thanks for the heads up Bisso, I git my eye on this one and sent walkera a e-mail to put me in for one as soon as they are available....Will do a report when I get it.....

Happy flying....off to give the latest Falcon 40 a whirl, trying to get the tail right....

You da man Bisso! Both with the link and the google info! I'll have to jot that down.

buildem336 - collective pitch is really a dream come true. I can't wait for that either.

raz · Aug 12, 2007, 09:14 PM

I tried googling it and found 0, not a single thing! Way to go Bisso! I just hope they are back in stock soon.

buster7467 · Aug 12, 2007, 09:44 PM

Man that would be a great practice heli for in the house. I can't wait till they are in stock. I want one.

skizziks · Aug 12, 2007, 10:12 PM

The only fp heli being close to this size is the micron which is $300 and is almost impossible to not fly into walls without a ton of tweaking....what is the price and where can I buy one ???

Snooptalian · Aug 12, 2007, 10:45 PM

Very nice. I've been wanting another FP heli and this one looks to fit the bill, plus I love the super small stuff...
