actually i have lots of ausy friends who refer to each other at times as kiwi's lol thats why i made the comparissson.

Still no word on Helipal tho, i just got back to work and like one of the helis on their site including its price but dont want to venture in without some background first

Coffin,

That helipal looks pretty good, they have some good prices and some nice heli's. That storm heli they have looks nice, and they have the Creata which is one I still have my eye on for the future. I think they should be fine to order from, but I'm like you when it comes to trusting overseas websites. Unless I hear plenty of positive feedback from people on the forum here, I am reluctant to order. Anyway, let us know how it goes if you decide to order.

well im looking at the walkera 4#3b since i dont get alot of day time to fly. thought it would be a fun one to have in the house. i might have to go back over to that other place well came from tho to get it. i have desided i will get the brushless one for sure tho

[coffinsnail]

so 1-5 rating. im curious are they like new egg? are they based on a 5 egg max, or is it based on a 5 soft landing max, vs a 5 crash and burn max? LOL jk

Helipal.com looks interesting. They appear to ave the latest 2.4Ghz models that aren't quite in the U.S. yet.

I lived with a bunch of Canadians back home, I just always like the chance to hassle them, in a fun and unoffensive way too though ;D. I used to get all kinds of stick about the accent and being backward people in NZ from them. Also the size of the country and the sheep tp people ratio always gets a good joke or too!! Gotta say I love the BC area and Calgary, been there a couple times and its such a nice laid back and open spaced area, reminds me of home. Not Calgary being open spaced but still a good city!

Welcome to the forum anyway Trevor, you'll find our Canadian jokes some of the best in the land

Hey Kiwi, I've been to Calgary and Bamph (spelling) and that truly is god's country in the late spring, summer and early fall, but that place SUX big time in the winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being from Texas, I don't do snow. That stuff is too white and too dam cold.
I thought Kiwicountry was warmer than that...

Well I suggest adding Chinesejade to the list.

He carries only Walkera heli's and parts. However I have had six orders with him. Shipping from China regardless of if you buy a helicopter or parts is $5. He has what I would call the best prices on Walkera parts I have found yet. He is very helpful and raved about on RCgroups. There he posts as Terrance.

Here is a link to the site:

By the way, My 4G3 v2 with case, the metal head upgrade and brushless upgrade on the side. Three batteries and three sets of blades was shipped to me in 9 days for $5.

Hobby zone --- got my mSR from them in a timely manor, opted for letting them chose the shipping so it would be free. and got it in about 4 days. so far no issues to call them about.
