Anyway to lower the shipping price? It's hard to swallow that the shipping is almost as much as the product.

Hi GTR

Thanks for the feedback the $16.50 option is the cheapest option Australia post has.....

So I've done heaps of googleing trying to find a courier company that has a cheaper option but I'm not having any luck...

Does anyone have any suggestions on a shipping company??

For quoiting my post code is Australia 6722.

Remember all prices are in Australian dollars, which at the current exchange rates means you can buy half the great barrier reef for the change in your ash tray LOL

A slight increase in work to the top but have you considered countersunk screws?

They are available with hex drive.

Have you ever thought about having a distributor in the states, maybe one in Europe too.

Nothing too complicated. A shop like Lower Heli would be perfect, maybe even MikadoUSA.

Seems like that would cut shipping cost and all the leg work I'm sure you do.

Just an idea.

I like the counter sunk idea it would give a sleeker look... might have to increase the length of the unit a couple of mm il model this into the LITE version I've been asked to make.
Maybe i should send Lower Heli an email see if they are interested ..??

Great suggestions guys keep them coming

It's looks like the shipping is less now. When I first looked into buying this it was like $30+ USD. I will have to get one now. I really don't have issues getting the NEO off the double sided tape, but I've had the rpm sensor connector back out on me so your product resolves this issue. Can you imagine if a servo connector came out? Not good. If this works out for you, you may want to consider making these of other FBL brands.

The pipe fell off of my nitro pretty much the same day my cage arrived in the mail. Since then, I haven't had time to work on it, so the heli is still sitting here with a barely attached muffler in no condition to fly. As soon as I build up the energy I'll get it back together and give it a try with the cage. I remain curious as to how it will work in a truly bad vibe environment (vibes bad enough it literally shakes itself apart on a regular basis...)

I can understand the NEO using a "Cage" due to it's brittle plastic but certainly not the VControl.

Be interesting to see just how that works.

Having seen the cage on a goblin today the base plate of the cage could be made for the goblin mounts and do away with the carbon plate and the need to stick the cage to it.

Thank you for the feed back guys I'll definitely keep these ideas in mind on the Lite Version I'm working on Keep the suggestions coming

The V-Control upgrade..... I'm really looking forward to sharing it with you all but I don't want to count my chickens until all the eggs have hatched
For now all I can say is that this will be a boutique item and its not necessary at all, but its not about what we need its about what we want and everyone loves a bit of bling

Hey guys, I ordered 2 NEO cages. One will go on my Nitro and the other on my logo 700.

Any idea on how many days it takes for shipping to Colorado since I didn't elect to pay more for tracking? I ordered on March 6th. Just curious since my Logo 700 is grounded until then.

Hi Heli$

I posted it on 10th you would have received a shipping email on the 11th
I'm not sure when it will arrive I believe about 8-10 days from what others have said (Australia to US)

I hope it arrives soon so you can get back in the air
I also added a small gift

Cheers

Charlie
