Looks like a good deal, provided the item is located in the UK and there are no customs charges to pay. From what I understand, the feda dragonlfly is a good heli.

looks like a good deal...
thats a hummingbird clone.

I'd recomend a real hummingbird though, due to better kit/ material quality, and also that transmitter looks crappy, a hummingbird would be much better quality. but it will cost £200, you get what you pay for,

not to discorage you from buying that ebay one though,

Hi,

If you buy one from ebay, avoid a company called 3tofly...... I had to replace the transmitter and receiver as it never worked from day one[>:]

Good luck

I would agree eith Sabot, i've heard the same thing about the dragonfly. Someone else also said that the aerohawk was a clone of the piccolo.

If you are going to buy off ebay, keep away from exportpros. I bought a heli a year back from them, it sparked the second I plugged it in and they wouldn't fix it.

sorry i had problems with his site hence the repeated question.

I have taken a look at the real hummingbird and seems pretty cool[8D]

I think this will be my next buy as if i have any problems with it i have a chance of getting it fixed or replaced.

seems like there are a lot of cowboys on ebay

Dragonfly is OK, but £88.00 is too expensive, I think you may get a cheaper one from ebay.com instead of ebay.co.uk, or you may buy one from me, 148US$ would be enough, shipping included. please visit http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemID=41758

and, I think you may invest a few bucks to get a ESky instead of Dragonfly, I think ESky is far more better than the Dragonfly.

hope it helps.

Dae.
