I was just wondering if the exchange rate has anything to do with how much we Americans will have to pay for Logo helis. I am looking at getting a 400 when they come out and am trying to figure out how much it will cost. I found a German website that has the prices listed in euros here's the link http://www.hoelleinshop.com/e-vendo.php?shop=hoellein_e&SessionId= It has the 400 w/ drive system(motor and esc) listed for 369 euros. Now 369 euros is about 570 US Dollars. One might think that they will sell for $570 in the US but I looked at the prices on the other kits that are out now and compared them with what Espritmodel sells them for . The prices in Dollars and Euros are about the same ie. a Logo 500 3D costs $429.00 at espritmodel and sells at Hoellein for 425 euros. Prices on other logos are within the same range. Can one assume that Logos will continue to sell at similar prices as they have been? I hope so because if not we would be paying about 40% more due to the exchange rate. Maybe they are adjusting the price for the US market to stay competitive with Align and other makers? I'm not sure how that works. I really hope it works that way because I'd much rather pay $369.00 than $570. That's a huge price difference. Anyone know anything or have any thoughts on the situation?

Well unfortunately for us the dollar sucks right now. Not sure how they will price it but looking at the price of a Trex 500 I highly doubt the Logo400 will go for $369 IMO. If they do though they will sell a bunch of them.

I have heard from a good source that it will be very competitively priced in the US to break into the smaller size electric market in the states.I hope this is the case as i would really like one and in Europe we will get ripped off!!
