Default Quick 15

From what I understand the entire rotor head is going to be all metal. As well as most of the other components like bell cranks, washout unit, and swashplate. The frames are suposed to be G10. If you ask me, this is overkill. This little bird is a great idea. But to make it all metal is just not needed. I have argued this point on another forum, and no one seemed to understand why I thoughts it was a little overbaked. I think it is a great idea, but if it were plastic. And cheap, it would hold a TON of merit. I for one would not buy a .15 size heli for more than I can get a 30 sized one for. Fun or not. Right now everyone knows that you can buy a Hawk Sport with a muffler for $159.00. So why make this little thing more expensive? I think the idea would have been better if it were aimed at the guy wanting to fly helis, with limited funds. Make it plastic, lite, and cheap. Say in the $125.00 range. And then they would have sold like HOTCAKES! And they might anyway, but I still think that it would have been better to make it a cheap little toy bird. Not make the parts all metal, which will be heavier, and cost more to fix. Great idea, but like I said a little overbaked for my taste. I will pass! Not trying to bad mouth Quick at all. I say again, great idea. Just not for me at $200.00.
