Walkera HM 38# (Chinook tandem)

grizzjr1 · May 20, 2008, 08:16 AM

Hey I just took a peak at the Walkera site and saw a new tandem!!! Look here

Anyone have any more information about it? Like the price, RTF or ARF, anything else? I will probably be buying this over the Twister SkyLift because it looks MUCH more sturdy with aluminum parts and all.

hi grizzjr1!
VERY nice find!
looks cool. it is bigger as the twister: rotor dia is 450mm, 370sh motors...
looks like two HM53 put together. 768 gramms.... every crash will be expensive then (heli AND furniture

) but i like it!
hope it will be available soon.
regards

I would rather it was made by ESKY than Walkera.I had nothing but trouble with walkera.

Yeah, an E-Sky version would be better quality but this looks pretty cool (and I'm a sucker for Chinooks). I couldn't find any places to purchase from though, and if it's in the Walkera store, it's going to be seriously overpriced...

Yeah, I also wish it was E-Sky rather than Walkera. If the price is too high for my budget (300+), then I will probably go for the Twister. Anyone know where to find a Twister SkyLift for around as much as on HL, only not on HL (too much of a wait!

) Thanks!

I just received my Twister Skyhook from Great Hobbies here in Canada. I ordered it in mid March for a pre delivery price of $241 GST and delivery included. They promised a mid June delivery but I got it this morning.

Am I missing something? On the greathobbies web page, the inset picture of the guy holding the heli, the rotor on the right only has one pair of blades.

It's like the guy is saying "Look what I broke".

Got an e-mail from RC-Spare Parts, and they said the HM-38 Tandem will be available the end of June. Still don't have a price.

If you look closely at the bottom of the shaft in the picture you can barely see the rotor facing you end on.

Still it does look like it is missing if you don't look closely, LOL.

So has anyone got one of these yet? I am keen for a comparison with the twister tandem. Anyone?

China Jade has it for $223.00 shipped. It's a promo price... He's a very standup guy... active in the 4#3 threads.
