Would you folks running an sjm400 comment on parts availability and support?
It appears the v3 should have alot of the bugs worked out and looks to be a good 400 class heli.
Any imput is apreciated.

I've spent the past week reading as much as I can about the sjm400. Only thing that is stopping me from ordering one up is that I've already got so much $ tied up in Trex goodies, that picking up another heli right now doesnt fit in the budget.
Everything I have read about the head design on it says that is an incredible design. I guess it requires greater care when setting up, but the flying is supposed to be superb. Not only that, but it has a sweet look to it. Whenever I look at it, it looks as though the heli is moving even when its just sitting there. I like that about helis.
Read up on the Aplus400 as well. Kind of the same helis with a few minor differences. As far as parts go, it seeems like there are plenty of online suppliers that have parts for them. I dont think many LHS are gonna have the parts, but having to wait a few days for fedex or ups isn't too big a deal.
Now thinking about it....might have to get one next week :) haha
Hope this helps. Do lots of reading. there is a lot of information on rcgroups and otherr sites.
