Default HD distributor

So is there no more distributor in the states for HD? I see Superstition not selling heli's and parts are being discounted. If that is the case, what will be the route for getting parts in the future?

Very easy. Order direct in Germany. www.hd-helicopters.de
Shipping to the United States with UPS-Expedided for only 9.90 USD. Also for the kits.

It does make one to wonder whats to come. In the states, two distributors down and team pilots dropping out. Also the 502 was announced how long ago and parts/kits don't seem to be making progress.

You dont have to be worried at all about the future of the helis or the company.
Being a team-pilot is not everything and the reasons why she is not anymore is between rb1 and HD.
Who will sell helis in future is something what is no problem at all in time of worldwide shipping options from a single country.
There are some more manufacturers in the market who only sell direct. Nothing wrong with this.

We are also among the manufacturers who have all spare parts on stock. Not self-evident these days...

The 700 will be sold and shipped when 100% ready. Almost all parts are done now.

Bottom line: Enjoy the HD-helis, enjoy the hobby and keep flying.
All good.

As an additional note: The 502 is being shipped since 2 months now. Just the new battery tray is not ready yet and will be delivered to the customers free of charge by mid of July.

And that is exactly the way it worked for a recent order. 2 weeks from order to delivery. HAV

I just saw Alan At Superstiton Hobbies today. He is not going anywhere. Said he will still work on, tune, carry parts, and support HDCell %100.

He actually tuned my 500 today.

You have any concerns call him directly at the store. He co-signed this comment.

That's good to hear. I have a lot of parts, but having electronics issues is where my dilemma is.

Didn't see the new skid style listed so just ordered direct from Germany. Wasnt in a big hurry anyway. Guess I'll call him when I need something else even if its not listed. Like to get the new canopy style when they become more readily available. HAV

After he tuned it yesterday I put it in the air today. Wow, so different than my Goblins, I forgot how forgiving these Cells are..........CRAZY low headspeed but it will outright smack.

A little above 1000 for cruising around
1200 to 1300 for big air stunts

Collective management has to be on point.

I like low headspeeds but my collective management ain't that great for that low. At 1300 it doesn't POP on pitch pumps, it ascends but if you flip or roll it, it's smooth as silk
