Another potential place to get one of these planes in the UK is from flightpower.co.uk. They are plannig to import some I beleive.

I was speaking to them last week about their electic powered Majestic clone. He recons it has more power than a YS160 and flights of about 20 minutes. Not quite sure how he knows that though since the YS160 isn't released yet - but sounds impressive. Over £500 for a battery pack though ! When the price comes down a bit more though I would certainly be tempted to go this route.

Carbon pipes - they look fantastic but I was a little worried that with the curved end made of carbon too sticking out from within the pipe tunnel. If this hits the ground at any point if the undercarriage came off in the ruff for example it could destroy the whole pipe unlike a ali pipe which could just be bent back into shape. And yes I know you're not supposed to land in the ruff
