I dont see pricing for the heli kits on thier website. Actually, I dont see much pricing at all on there. Do I need to call to place an order or get pricing? I was assuming one could order online but I don't mind calling if thats their procedure.

I was curious about this also. I have been interested in this heli but am concerned about aftersale parts support because I test the Earth's gravity with my heli's every now and again .....
I see a few listings to buy the heli but I do not see much on parts listings. So to those that have one - how has parts support been, where have you gone to get them?? It would be a bummer to have such a fine machine down in prime flying season because I could not get parts if needed.... I know first hand from Century what a problem getting parts can be so that is why it is a concern to me, hope it is unfounded here.
I am going to the Toledo show and would like to actually see one there.
P.S. I am interested in the Electric 8 cell LiPo motor version

OK, I see that Modefo's and Graves have the E version. RCheliworkz, HeliProz and MTA only seem to have and support the nitro versions.
Other than the obvious things like the frame for the E version are the head, tail, boom, etc, are they the same between the nitro and eIectric? I would presume they are....

I ended up ordering the Knight 3D from Modefo's. I'm in. That makes an even dozen nitro helis for me........for now.

Scarr,
You are correct about the E version, frames are different , head and tail are the same. Main shaft is drilled differently on the electric but can also be used on the nitro. 8s version is insanely fast !

I figured such but it's nice to know rather than presume and find out the hard way.....
Thanks for all the info from everyone, I'm off to the Toledo show Friday and probably Saturday. I think a 600E Knight is in my near future.

they are the USA distributers not retailers therefore no selling to the public.

Yes but I enjoy the machines as much as I do the flying so setup is not a chore for me. I love everything about the helicopters. I look forward to my TT redline .53 powered Knight 3D.

Yes Infina Models is a Distributor thats why there is no pricing on the site or parts listings.
We support shops not the end user. But we do carry all parts in stock so your dealers should be able to get parts in a few days.
As stated the 600E and the 3D use most of the same parts, frames and a few bearing blocks are diff.
All head and tail parts are the same, auto hub has the oneway bearing installed in opposite directions between the 2 but all drive gears are the same as well. If anyone needs any more info on the heli you can contact me or any of the dealers. I will be putting a dealer listing up on my site soon. And there is a list on Compassmodels.com as well.
