The price is $800 for the flybar version and $775 for the FBL kit. Release date isn't far away. I only know the date at which i am expecting to get my kit, usually the public release is a few weeks after that.

$775 for the Flybarless kit
Those are correct prices :thumbup:

Thanks guys for the info. Question though I would have thought the FBL would be more expensive the the flybar version, just due to what it cost to covert a Heli to a FBL. Why is it cheaper? Not that I'm complaining

Marketing wise, I'd have thought FBL would be more expensive too as I would imagine most people consider flybarless to be an upgrade or "something extra", "higher performance", or "the next new thing". I suppose that could also come from the Align style of thinking where they like to combo up everything too (the FBL 700 kit pretty much comes with everything short of an engine, rx, and rx batt I think).
Once you're done fullying building the kits though, the FBL will most likely cost you more due to the FBL system.
Kudos to Outrage though for common sense SKUs where the FBL doesn't actually cost more since it does use less parts. It does make getting that FBL system that much easier on the old wallet.

If they can get together with Skookum and put a 720 package together, I might be all in on the FBL, otherwise I'll probably have to start with the FB. This is why choices are bad, I can't afford to do them all!!!

So can someone tell me what exactly these kits will come with? I understand the FBL has less parts but will it recommend or possibly come with the appropriate stabilization electronics needed. Im trying to price out everything ill need to make this build complete. Im fairly new to nitro's and i want to build this one to take me from beginning 3D to possible competition level if i make that my ultimate goal, which right now it is. Maybe some of you pros could recommend some good starts on types of engines, pump systems, pipes servos etc. I've been doing a lot of research, but not sure of the best set up. Thanks in advance:noteworthy

My recommndation to you is go wtih regular flybar heli. Learn to fly and set it up proper. Flybarless will be easier to fly, but flybarless setup can be tricky for newer pilots and IMO if you want to get good(which I'm not), you should learn to fly and make the proper corrections and I think it will only help you later even if you decide to go FBL later.
For parts recommendations for the 90
Motor: YS91SR or OS91HZ
pipe Outrage 90 for appropriate motor
cyclic Servos: Align DS610's(budget choice), better would be Futaba BLS252, JR 8717, Outrage new coreless or brushless yet to be released
Tail servo: Outrage BLS tail
Gyro Spartan DS760 or quark, Inertia 860
Gov: Curtis ATG v3, or Aerospire Multigov pro
Blades: General flying and 3d, Radix 690 or 710SB, 3d-can't say for sure yet as I haven't flown heli. Guessing Align 690D, SAB 690(new red/white/black), Mavrikk 690 G5 pro, Radix 690SB
