Hirobo Helicopter Kits

Shuttle Plus, Shuttle ZXX, Sceadu 30, Sceadu 50, Freya, Eagle

Will the new X-Spec come to the UK, I hope so, check out the pics.

If it came here for under £900 I think with the right pilots demo'ing what it can do (matching a Fury, CS Vigor), they'd become very popular. The benefits would surely be big for Hirobo, especially as Hirobo is unique in making the best overall range of 30/50/60 size helicopters - so this would surely knock on through the whole range within the UK. The Sceadu is a stunning machine, the 30 flys so sweet, and the 50 is excellent. I do wish though that the UK Sceadu 50 didn't have the 570mm blades and muffler in the kit, these items are not what you'd keep for use with the 50. Better to bundle the 3rd bearing block and either 60cm blades or DTDS. That could I think become the most popular non-30 heli in the UK market - it might even lead to it's own competition format for up to 50 class. Let's hope the above can happen, I think success with the bigger would rub off on sales at the smaller end. All it needs is for UK flyers to know what the above are capable off. Then the Velocioraptor's might truly become extinct.
