Srimok Faifa

[Guest]

Thanks for the positive comments. Keep trying to get hold of the Srimok 50E wont be too long now. Had a good run with the Logo's as you know Helinut just into Srimok right now. Here are a few pics of the N with the Comp/Low rider setup. It has a custom pinion headspeed 2150 and is very quick as Dentman has seen first hand. Can't wait Jamin to open the E up at the field.

Just messin with ya Michael
Must admit I like the look of the mechanics on the Faifa, although have to say the canopies dont "do it" for me.
Hoping to get a go on one first hand so I can see for myself what all the fuss is about, but that goes for the Goblin as well (I can dream)

I'll try and make it to Charmouth one day and you can have a go. I'll have a go with your Xxtreme :-)

Deal, although wont have my Xxtreme till June, so it will have to be the october one

Still THE best looking heli on the market.

Nice job.

Ben you obviously know where he does his test flights !

Wait till you get it out in the open [/QUOTE]

Got the call this afternoon to view the FAIFA in action , a few things noted: very neat radio installation, fantastic noise , looked crisp and not manic in the air , canopy should really be fitted if you intend to fly it 200mtrs away ! And at 35% battery consumption for a 5 minute flight it must be very efficient . Seems to me you've got a very good setup ....... yet again. Nice work mate.

Got it out on the open yesterday and today, starting to like it a lot. Seems pretty quiet transmission even with canopy off and lots of pull.

Glad you liked it PG you will be seeing it let out a lot more. Canopies are overrated :-) fly just as well without although I heard Bruno kept saying "I can't tell what it's doing anymore" so kept climbing!!

Awesome, nothing I have flown is as good simples!

Some come close but not the same


Enjoy.

I still love them and think they are sexier than all the others on the market.. if only they had a UK retailer as thats the only thing that bugs me

They would be quite a bit more popular if they did have UK support without a doubt. They might even do better than I think considering the current prices of 700 size E's that are out now, it makes the FAIFA a cheaper alternative.

The spares thing/uk supplier to me just isn't an issue. Here's why, several non Align helis like Synergy, Avant, MA you can be assured they don't have a part you need or have to go to several suppliers. I waited 4 weeks for an Avant main shaft.

With Kasama:

5 day delivery,
In US dollars so spares great value,
Spares always latest version and in stock,
Often free replacement with any issue,
Heck I missed an item off an order they just dropped in post foc,
Postage comparable to Special Delivery,
They just don't wear out.

Once you get past must have today/tomorrow to must have this week it's fine.

Also locally I've brought in about 6 Srimoks and between 3 we own 8 Srimoks and sort each other out technically and spares then replace. All our machines run silky smooth.

I'm going totally Kasama when the 50 comes out.

The only trouble with that theory is that by the time a uk retailer/distributor adds their cut, plus vat, plus import duty, suddenly it's no longer a £6-700 airframe, but over a grand again. I can't see anyone in the uk taking it on again unfortunately, and it's a shame because from what I've seen of the FAIFA, it's an awesome bit of kit.

[Jamin_00]

I cant see anyone doing it yet either but ATM its what roughly £650 and with todays releases such a bargain!!!! I mean a ballistic is £200 more in the UK (OK only £617 in the states)

As Michael says but I also use helistore.at and delivery is normally 2 days with them and they as well as Henrik (3drotor.com) hold plenty of stock. Also, its not a concern if its another brand and they have to go to Europe or the states but it is with the Srimok, go figure
