New / recent and interesting models?

[trillian]

Just curious, does anyone have a Core 700? HD Cell 700/750/800? Velos 880? (unfortunately the Velos 880 is currently out of production as they are concentrating on industrial drone variations).

Then there's the Henseleit TDF, Takumi 700 and new versions of the Minicopter Diabolo 700, 800 and the new 600.

So what are you building or thinking about getting?

I cant see my budget allowing any additional helis this year but id absolutely love a Diabolo, 550 or 700. That said the HD 750 is a REALLY nice looking heli too.. Thats one chunky boom

Would love the new Henseleit TDS shown at Rotorlive... realistically given budget this year it will be bits to upgrade my Gaui R5 to the V2 spec.

Yeah they are pricey. The Core 700 is much cheaper but I'm not seeing anything about it lately, it appears to be still for sale and it's pretty cool in its own way but the HDs are very classy - like the next best thing to a Banshee.

One for sale on ebay right now. it must be trully massive, it's standing next to a Trex 700 and makes the Trex look like a 450! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shape-s8-...n/323186302826

It was previously listed at £1150 and didn't sell, so the seller must have thought it would sell easier if he increased the price!. I'd bet he would take £1150 if offered.

nothing new for me
I'm happy with the models I've got

Interesting, I never would have expected to see one on Ebay and a bit of a wild coincidence because I only went looking at the Shape website today. He says the kit alone is £1200 but it's actually only 999 Euros: https://www.freakware.de/en/p/shape-...0a-a140538.htm

I've been following that heli on ebay for a while. It looks genuine enough and in excellent condition. At the original listing price of £1150 it's something of a bargain considering the build spec... But i've got way too many helis already

The other factors for me would be that I'd really like to build a new kit and also that I'd be worried about something getting broken in the post. Plus..... I already have the perfect motor for this beast, a Pyro 800. And... I am torn between the green and blue canopy and the orange and blue.

I have too many helis as well Basically, I thought I was going to get some help with my Suzi Laos and if I do then I'll build it up and that will be my 800 class heli. But if that falls through my finger is hovering perilously low over the buy button at Freakware

[electricsceadu]

wrong
you can never have too many heli's

[Grumpy]

I honestly dont think there is anything 'dodgy' about the listing. If it were stolen the last place he would advertise it is eBay. The heli is probably close to unique in the UK and unmistakable, it would be like saying 'here i am come slap the hand-cuffs on me'. He even has a photos of the heli out in the field next to his others. Possibly he had the heli build by someone else and doesnt know the exact spec of parts in it, suggest you ask for more photos if there is anything you are unsure of.

He's only about 100 miles from you, not too far to go to collect, I've driven a lot further to pick up a heli.

[myxiplx]

Or he built it a while ago and didn't take notes on what the specs were.

[PKNEC]

That is one huge heli.
Personally I would know what motor specs were especially after shelling out a huge amount of cash for such a machine and equipment, but that's me.
But I suppose it could be case of get someone to build it for me and just pay the bill.
No !!!!! he should know but if hes not far away you could ask for a viewing.
As for me once my G500 sport is built that's me done for a while. Honest
