Why the high cost....
 

of CNC AXE CP rotor head parts? Is it becuase it is fairly new machine? or not as many companies making prts? or what?

I clicked on a banner ad for a Walkera 60 RTF for 139.99 and it had an opition for metal rotor head assy and tail assy for 59.99.

I'm new to this whole helicopter scene so it may be painfully obvious for everyone in the know.

BTW is the walkera 60 a good heli? for 139.99 I think I my have to have 2 helis......

RE: Why the high cost....
 

two main factors that I can think of. The walkera parts are straight out of china (well so are every other part =P), and they probably do not have a middle man, as well as CS, or QC or as tight of tolerances, who knows. Any one of those factors really raises the price.

The walkera from what i hear is not a bad heli but the electronics are horrible. If you can get it arf some way and then put your own electronics in it then you'll probably have a decent setup =)

Hopefully the prices will come down in time.
