I agree! U.S. Hobby Suppy and the service that Michael provides are awesome! Like you, I was sort of shocked when my first order from them arrived the next day with cheap Priority Mail shipping - which has also happened with every order since then, except for the one Michael personally delivered and the one I'm going to pick up from him later today! What luck that I'm only 29 miles away!
Michael is going to help me set up my HBK2 after just about everything on it has been or will be upgraded. I had my first flight - er' wreck because of a bad set up that I did myself... With all the upgrades, once it is all back together and adjusted properly it should be like flying a totally different bird! These are:
- Dx6i with AR6200 receiver
- 3900kv motor with HobbyWing 25A ESC
- Xtreme 43T tail drive pulley
- Logitech 2100T HH gyro with LTS-3100G digital tail servo
- 1800mah high-discharge battery (also with a new Align charger)
- "tough as nails" feathering shaft
- super-skids (yet to be put on)
- CNC parts for all rotor and tail components (yet to be put on)
- 10T pinion gear (yet to be put on)
- 1.2GHZ wireless camera (yet to be put on, and I have to learn to fly without destroying the helicopter first)
Everything but the camera from U.S. Hobby Supply (only because they didn't sell it)! All the "yet to be put on" stuff is in the order I'm picking up today.
I originally got my HoneyBee from XHeli after seeing their ad on the Popular Science web site. I wish I'd known about U.S. Hobby Supply at that time, but at least found them for every order (except the camera) since then. Like you, I'm a customer for life! [8D]
There seem to be lots of folks out here with great stories about U.S. Hobby Supply!
Enjoy your new bird! Post some pictures or videos once you get it in the air!
U.S. Hobby Supply rocks! It is always a pleasure to do business with Michael!
