I was looking at Banana Hobby as a site to put on the directory and they all seemed ok until I came across the Black Hawk they are selling. From what I gather, this isn't actually the Black Hawk but the knock off Golden Eagle version that KA Planes warns about on their site. You can compare the two heli's and notice that the head of the Golden Eagle is very different, but otherwise looks the same. Apparently these aren't as good as the Black Hawk and so shouldn't be sold at the same price. Anyway, let me know what you all think about it and if it is in fact the Golden Eagle, especially Mike at KA Planes if you read this. Also I have heard a few not so positive things about them so were just a little hesitant to put them on yet. Check it out.

I tried Banana Hobby alwhile ago. They appear to have old stock and low inventory levels. Shipping isn't that great. I think they are an xheli.com wanna be.

My understanding from a few months ago is that Banana = Xheli = Nitroplanes = Raiden = many others.
Banana seems to be the worst.
Xheli will sell you old pulled crap when they are low on stock.
I have experienced this myself. Not enough of an issue to do the return bit. But unless they have a super deal, I don't do business with any of those folks.
