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

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!!!
