Hey, one of my best friends has one. His grandfather gave it to him. We were laughing about it.
Believe it or not, I can no longer fly these things.

The fact that they are copying these helis in mini version says a lot about their design uniqueness
There is also the MIni Poseidon. Here it is.
A link to the seller please? I`d like to have one or two of those just for the fun of it!:lol:

Its an ebay item out of canada. Heres a link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/PROPEL-RC-GYROPT...item4aa9f6722a (http://cgi.ebay.com/PROPEL-RC-GYROPTER-IR-REMOTE-CONTROL-HELICOPTER-AS-IS-/320679080490?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item4aa9f6722a)
The description reads "as is" and says the tail motor does not function, so:
A little google searching and I found more of the same:
http://compare.ebay.com/like/1106589...=263602_309572 (http://compare.ebay.com/like/110658983053?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&rvr_id=222590818090&crlp=1_263602_309572&UA=WVI7&GUID=0da7f7b712f0a02652934263fffb6b17&itemid=110658983053&ff4=263602_309572)
That one is new.
Here is a brand new one in silver:

And finally, heres a link to the Manufacturers website:
http://www.propelrctoys.net/toystore...products_id=33 (http://www.propelrctoys.net/toystore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=33)
Apparently, If you buy 2, the second one is half price. :D

Shipping to norway might be expensive. If you check around you might find one closer to home.:cheers

Rupi,

Thanks guys:thumbup:
I may wait for a while because they seem to be 2-3 times the price as other similar "Toy" helis.....just because of the look:confused:
And as you you mention,the ship. to Norway is a nightmare!
Maybe somewhere closer as you also sugest..

A guy was flying/demonstrating these in JC Penny last weekend.
He was very nice and told me all about R/C helicopters.
I almost said, "That looks like a Mars or a Poseidon", but realized he would have no clue.
Still, for an inexpensive coax, it looks nice.

Hey rupi. Do they have JC pennys in norway?? Just a thought. Thanks Clem. So did the sales rep have any skills? Any piros? Nose in?
Our mall has a kiosk with the CHEAPEST little and big coaxials. When that guy flies in the mall those things sound TERRIBLE, all high pitched and whiny. I really think they are running brushed motors in those little disasters.:thumbdown:

Not really-he thought he did.
The machine would get a few feet away from him and drop like a stone repeatedly. I don't know if this was his fault or the infared control system or if the helicopter was faulty.
He thought he was very good at it, and I just thanked him and left. He had been quite nice and I saw no reason to burst his bubble.
