I saw Rick's RC advertising this as I'm sure everyone else has.
$1350 however I saw a base price on an earlier helifreak post of $599 for the heli only. $700 in servos and a gyro????
what do you think???? :hug:

Don't forget the OS50 Hyper, around $200, the Hatori muffler for $125, carbon blades, won't price those since they're not specified, and THEN the gyro and all servos.

Thats the one I ordered. I priced all the stuff and it came out a little better buying the Kit from Ricks

So everything you needed to get the heli flying was in the deal from Rick?
When you enlarge the pic, it looks as though it includes everything.
What else is needed other than what troopersam stated?

You are also going to need a regulator and rx battery. Arizona reg and relion 5200mah pack of course :lol:

Sounds like you will save a few bucks with the deal, depending on which CF blades you get.
I got my OS hyper from amainhobbies for 189, and my mussle pipe for 79 dollars. I already have the 9252 servos, gy401 and 9254 with ar7000 rx. I might get the align bec with starter clip but will have to see the price on that first.
The kit comes with the fuel tubing and clamps, along with a filter, so with ricks deal you will need the RX and battery system you plan on using. You will also need a starter and fuel. I also have all the metal upgrades for the head, and the tt comes with it, but not sure if the thrusted tail is included.
I can't wait to hear about people getting thei heli and flying it, exciting to say the least... :thumbup:

I ordered that package today. Called Ricks to ask them about how long this was taking to ship. He said they're getting in about 8 a week and there were about 31 people ahead of me. So looks like about a months wait for me. That's ok, gives me something to dream about every night. :WOW

What happened to the $1250 price? Did they put something else in the package from last week when it was a c note lower?

I got my OS hyper from amainhobbies for 189,
FYI, for anyone else looking. ReadyHeli.com has the OS 50 Hyper for $179 with free shipping.

Ya I saw that, but not 3 weeks ago when I needed it for my 600n. Good price for sure!
