Cyberheli has the Sceadu 30 for $199.00 and for an additional $50, you can get the upgrade kit to the 50.
How is this helicopter? Should I replace my Raptor 50 with one?

Oh, never mind, I just took a look. It's missing the upgrades that the US version has.

I would think if Jeff said the Sceadu 30 was going to get a price drop, then so should the Sceadu 50. But then again the 30 size I would enjoy because of the fuel consumption. Daz...

Seems like he said a bit of discount over the US retail prices. Better go to Jeff to make sure Daz.
Its raining its pouring Culverson's heli is snoring, raining cats & dogs here Daz..how is your weather?
That's the reason I ordered a Quick 30 Pro and own a RG Daz low fuel consumption on 30 sized heli.

Culveson, here in Cleveland, Oh its raining too, but I did get a chance to fly earlier today, hehehe. I had to test out my new optical sensor for my GV1, and it worked great. So now that its raining I'm getting some routine maintenance work done on my Heli's, and planes.

I mostly fly my Venture, but I love my Freya/YS80(Gulp), but I take the Freya out when I really want to feel the power. Daz...

What does an optical sensor do for you? Why sin't the magnetic one enough?

RS2K, my Futaba sensor mount broke, and there is a guy on RR, that sells the Optical sensor for $15 for two, whereas futaba's cost $39.00, and you only get one, and the mounts, and the magnets, all of which I dont need.

Also the optical sensor doesnt have to be mounted as close to the fan as the futaba sensor, the futaba sensor had to be about 1/16 from the fan, whereas the optical sensor mounts about a 1/4 inch from the fan.

Also with the optical sensor you dont have to use a small magnet, you CA a small piece of foil to the bottom of the fan about 3/8 inch wide, meaning there is no rebalancing of the fan needed, and thats all you need. It works great!! Daz...

What about the problems with cloud cover? Is that a myth or a real problem?

RS2K, no problem with cloud cover, or even at night because it provides its own source of light. I flew it today, and it was very cloudy, and no problems at all. Daz...
