    Default Scale bodies coming soon for the 120 SR

    Looks like MIA Micro-FLIGHT Home Page will have scale bodies for the Blade 120 SR in the 2nd week of October.

    Models include: MIA MD500, MIA S300.

    Think I'm a bit excited!

    Fantastic if you want your SR120 to fly like a whale!!!!!
    He uses really heavy plastic!!!!!!

    MIA also charge ridiculous prices for postage to UK.......$30-00 last time I looked

    Sorry if I rained on your parade m8...........been down that road already so thought I would share the benefit of my experience

    Bubble has been well and truly burst but thanks for the warning.

    Are there any decent suppliers of scale bodies that I should look out for. For me the standard canopies that come with helis just don't do it.

    Oh, and my 120 flies like a whale anyway, that is if you mean lying down on the ground flapping about like its going to die.

    This is Mario with MIA Micro-FLIGHT. I just stumbled upon this forum thread and what you are saying is not correct.

    Do you have one of our scale bodies? Or is this something you heard somewhere?
    First, the prices for international shipping were updated to provide other less expensive option a while back.
    Second, the plastic thickness is not "really heavy" as you are describing it, it is aprropriate for the size model intended
    to allow the model to fly, while provide a good degree of durability.
    If it was really heavy no one in these videos would be flying our scale bodies as they are. We've sold a lot of them direct and
    via dealers worldwide.

    Please give some thought to the information, make sure it is correct before you pass it on to others. Thanks.

    Midland Helicopters do some of the MIA stuff, maybe they might get some of the 120SR bodies in - worth asking the question.

    @MIA.......info IS correct as far as I am concerned.
    So please do not ascend the tall equine with me mate.

    I have experienced two of your 'scale bodies'

    Once converted,I hesitate to say upgraded,both helis flew like Moby Dick!!!
    One of these bodies now gathers dust in a friends spares box and the other was ceremonially doused in lighter fluid and offered up to the Gods of Flight as a sacrifice.

    On the subject of postage I must admit that after purchasing some items from you a while back I have not returned so you may well have lowered your ludicrously exorbitant postal charges....well done you.

    So sorry if my experiences are not to your liking.
    Perhaps myself and my friends were just unlucky with the product that we purchased from your organization.

    I have ordered from them and even in the US the shipping was WAY overpriced. I foolishly assumed that by paying almost $20(USD) in shipping costs, that I might see my parts withing a week or so. After TWO weeks (They could have WALKED the parts here in less time) I called and was told that they were on "backorder" but they miraculously came in just MOMENTS before I called and would be shipped immediately. I will NEVER use them again. BTW, The canopy was GARBAGE. The other parts (skids, tail boom, support, etc) were acceptable.
