For those of you that have ordered from Flying Hobby, I have to ask. Are all the components in the combo packages (i.e. servos, gyros, batteries, motors and esc's) new items? Tried to email Fung, but something got lost in the translation and didn't get a clear answer. Just seem that when the SD kit without gyro, batts, etc. runs $369 and the 3D combo comes with everything (including a gy401 that he lists for $119) servos, batts, etc. lists for $435 the price seems too good to be true! Getting close to pulling the trigger and want to make sure I get what I think I am getting.

Thanks, sure more questions to come before deciding on the combo and spares!

I ordered the Light Combo from Flying Hobby and was wondering the same thing. Yes, all items are new and I have been very pleased with my purchase. If you want to discuss this further, send me a PM and I will give you my phone number if that will help.

This one (http://flying-hobby.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3_5_169&products_id=2771) at Flying Hobby looks like the complete SD heli with all the electronics and two batteries for $359 plus $46 shipping. Looks like it needs a receiver. So that's about $450 total.

A Main Hobbie (http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/2_382_707/products_id/19663)s has the belt-drive version for $255 plus $9 shipping. I equipped mine with three HS45 servos, a Logictech 2100/3100 gyro/tail servo combo, and an AR6100 receiver. Add two batteries (who uses only two?), and that total is about $600.
