Introducing the Swift Electric R/C Helicopter by Century Helicopter Products.
Setting new standards in large electrics, the Swift will outperform the competition with lightning speed. The main shaft is 10mm and hollow making it ultra light. The control system is none other than the very precise 120 degree eCCPM found in the Predator & Raven with a rear mounted rudder servo. The Swift will also feature a belt drive and built-in autorotation system. The horizontal fins and vertical fins are made slim and exotic resulting in additional weight savings. The main frames were built with weight reduction and structural rigidity in mind. The helicopter with motor and servos as configured weighs in at a mere 3.4lbs. With it's lightweight components and instantaneous electric power, the Swift has earned it's named which was derived from the world's fastest species of birds.

It looks like Tower has the ARF in stock in limited quantities for $250. It uses a 6S2P LiPo battery pack. That could get expensive! TPPacks.com has the ProLite batteries available in this configuration for $329. Ouch!

On first look it does look expensive but really is not as much as any one of the Bergens.
I know my Logo 10 ready to fly with the Batts(2 packs) doesn't cost more than my Xcell Pro II ready to go.

Use 7s V28 Milwaukee cells instead. ~$100.
