Default In search of a HYPE 3D

Does anyone know where I can buy a Hype 3D. I talked to a guy at Weston USA and he said that he did not know if they would ever get any more of them. I did happen to notice that Weston UK had them but I dont know that I can order one from them. Also I would just feel much more comfortable if I could get a hold of one here in the states. If anyone has one that they would like to sell let me know.
Thanks

You can still get them in the UK. If your not buying from them make sure it's the latest kit version, I won't say anymore!!

Let me ask you one question though...
How can I tell if it is the latest version or not?
Thanks

I have the first (early) version and been flying it for years, as have many of my friends. It's a little weak in places, if you tried to pick one up you will now what I mean. Very, very light build and fragile to hold. I was flying it yesterday, load of fun in a strong wind.

The early version has the blue covering on the main wings a flat colour, something near sky blue but just slightly darker.

The latter version has a pearl blue. Do you follow? Make sure you check the tail area for any loose stringers, play in the stab/fuze joint area. Don't push to hard on the aileron servos mounting screws when fitting them, you'll push through out the other side very easily!

Don't be put off, it's a great flyer. I haven'y come across a lighter model for comparable.

Just don't hit the ground with it!!!
