Just because they do not sell products in the US does not mean that they are not a strong company with a good market . They may be doing very well and content with what they have had, and this new signing may be a sign of planned growth in there line and distribution or just an addition to there team . They seem to have a lot of dealers and several distributor in Switzerland and Germany . There are a lot of people there ! ��

However most of the other companies that are dominat I other countries are at least well known in the US. This is a international forum with a lot of regular activity and up to date info. I think it's safe to say Soxos it not well know nor is it widely in use. We would have seen it here, in other forums,magazines, and events around the globe etc. It's seldom seen with most having never heard of them.

I wonder when the first soxos nitro will hit the market. It's time another company jumps into the market.

Profit share and your name on a heli?

Expect a new heli to come out from Soxos soon. Grab a big name, generate some excitement, then drop a new model or two to capitalize on the free publicity

This man truly defies the laws of gravity,
and I don't see nothing ugly about that heli.

Brilliant move by Soxos acquiring Duncan Donuts...

Maybe he simply wants a heli with a cabinet. No other brand has a cabinet.

The cabinet thing seems odd to me too. I don't get it.

The best I can do is maybe it helps prevent crash damage?

He's a young kid with mad skills.

For all we know, he may just wanna hang out with Jenny. Who wouldn't?

That said, I think Soxos is genius for having those two.

On another note, looking at that heli, it looks top notch materials.

Default Dunkan's future
Soxos and HD Helis are both in that area of (probably) very good quality, but very meh looks. They put so much engineering into the Heli, but forgot to make it look good.

Maybe with hiring Dunkan, they are going to release something edgy soon.

He came close to clipping his head there. I mean really close. From 1:30 to 1:33 or so. He's about 2 feet from his head when he executes that turn.

Yay Duncan! You survived! Congrats!

I will never want to watch you fly again.
