Hi All
http://helicopterhobbies.com is running a special on the Quick Japan QJ8
it is a mid sized all alloy heli, it comes with 475mm carbon fiber main blades, a Hacker A30-10L outrunner motor, a special motor mount for the Hacker and the new Hacker "Quark" esc. the esc can be set for heli,cars and airplanes. all of this for under $475.00. I couldn't pass that up! This will be my third Heli from Quick of japan. They are very nice. The customer service behind them is second to none as well. Harold Little owner. Harold is a heck of a nice guy, and will go out of his way to make you happy.
Here is a link to the special: http://www.helicopterhobbies.com/combo%20page.htm anyone looking at heli's should check this out.
Have a great day,
Jay

any video links, esp to 3d flying?

tough market at the $450US+ level versus all that is on offer.

just watch out for the soft ali frames. They bend way to easy.

It came today! That was fast to here. Harold at http://helicopterhobbies.com gets orders out fast and the shipping was very reasonable $17.00 insured to here (ten miles north of nowhere) is pretty good. I have just looked at it, everthing is very nice. Hacker power system and all. Like all Quick Japan heli's it is very nice. I will post pics when built.
Thank's,
Jay

Hi Ace,
The QJ8 has upgraded thicker frames. That and better tail plates. They call it the hard 3D upgrade.
Take care,
Jay
