I ended up getting the 300 as well. I stumbled onto a nice hobby shop just 20 minutes down the road. The owner was real nice so naturally I bought from him.same price plus the rebate but no extra batteries. he did not have the 130 mah batteries.He made it sound like they were hard for him to get. he said they were always back ordered. I would really like to know how those end up working for you. let me know because I might order some . I wont be able to try the heli out for a few days. thanks merry xmas.
