Does anyone have one of these? Is there any information about them other than what little is on the website. Looks pretty cool - but how well are they constructed and how do they fly? Anyone?

I really don't like doing this but you will not find anything about this heli here you need to go to another place to read about it,you see I am looking at getting one also but you won't find any info on this forum these guys are not into things like this.Go Here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=398953 There are over 15 pages of thread about this little heli from people that own them.

Thanks Moe3574! Curious - why aren't they into things like this?

Almost everyone here has either a walkera draganfly ot the trex and that is about it I really do not think that many of them even know about this little heli.

Most people here aren't into sub-micro flight would probably be more accurate. Esspecially when they're so expensive.

$300.00 for the complete kit with a tx is not that expensive when compared with what a Trex or some of the other heli's cost and I have had my fair share of them.

Awesome heli from what I've read over on RCGroups. Wished I had bought one of these myself before I bought a FP heli...Nice price too for the RTF package...

OK - so instead of working this morning - I'm spending all day on the web looking at helis and discussion groups! Good think I'm the boss and can't get fired!

So - now I have decided that I want a sub-micro heli. I want to get an inventory of what's available out there. Anyone have a list? And with links would be even better!!

Here is another sub-micro heli and it's collective pitch, kinda weird looking tail, but still cool when it gets released: http://www.bluearrow-rc.com/products...Helicopter.htm

Video list of some new products that are coming up for 2006. These helis are fixed pitch, very simple to assemble and setup, light and very durable. Ver 3.0 is designed for living room flying it is easy to learn nose in flight and piroutte it around a small area. The MOSCA is a little more challenging but it is smaller also.

Dan just let me send my video of my Micron to him for hosting. Its a very big file but wanted to have some better quality video.

Enjoy and thanks to Dan for helping.

This Micron flies very much like the Mini Dragon Fly but is more stable likely the high head speed. I have been impressed with the abuse the Micron will take without damage.

As far as the assembly, it has been my experience with helicopters that ultimately have to build or rebuild post crash. So in the end there may be an advantage to knowing how it was assembled when you have to take it apart and put it back together.

I would recommend buying all of the components at one time. Start with the stock setup and master that before experimenting. I thought I would use servos and a gyro I had but the connectors all needed changing and in the end John sold me the rest of the components.

If you follow the directions and ask questions on this thread if you need help, you should have lots of fun. And that is what I am looking for in this hobby. My Micron makes me smile. The workmanship on this "little guy" is very impressive.

I can't wait to see what is next...perhaps a collective pitch Micron or a sub Micron.
