RE: 450SEv2 PRICE DIFFERENCE??????? ALSO...
Well I got mine from Heliproz a little while ago and it was more money then, the sale price you found is only good for a few days IIRC the e-mail I got from them with the sale notice?????
Great folks to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them.
As for tools, they may not be necessary but I think a good set of both the ball end and precision end hex drivers are well worth while. I got a set of the Maverik drivers from them that have the interchangeable hex drivers, they're great. I also got a new tool they're stocking which allows you to check/set the swash plate without taking things apart like you have to do with the Youngblood tool I already had. While you're at it, unless you have a good local store which stocks such things, get yourself some of the light grease, oil and thread locker from those guys. They stock it all and the prices are similarly reasonable.
OH, if you haven't got the electronics for the heli yet, they also have about anything you might want (brands, sizes, etc.) and as good a prices as I found for those as well. I considered several different ways to go, but since I'm going to be using an AR6100E rx I went with the JR servos and gyro as well and got those from Heliproz too.
