| Yes, I'll buy a lot of them. If it turns out to be a decent flying helicopter, and one that is resonable to purchase, and fairly easy to repair. I feel most people would buy one or two of them at some point, if they meet this description. Helicopter tech., and the knowledge used to make and build them today is getting better by leaps and bounds. Krause and Bennet know what a good helicopter should fly like. They also know the reliability of it is very important to a flier as well.
I hope there new market entry suprises and delights everyone, including me. I almost bought Fury helicopters to play around with at one point. After weighing it's performance, verses what it cost to repair, and the time required to repair it, I elected not to play with them.
I would personally like to see another good helicopter on the market which is priced fairly. One that is predictably reliable, has resonable repair costs, and is relativly easy to repair. Again, it must fly pretty well. However, it does not have to be the best flying helicopter that was ever made, to satisfy my wants and needs, or those of many other helicopter fliers . It simply has to fly predictabley and decent. If the general cost is fair along with it, the rest will be history.
This is the kind of helicopter the bluk of the market wants and needs, when it comes to a model helicopter kit. Also, this sort of helicopter is really the lions share of the RC helicopter market anyway. That is the reason the Raptor helicopter came to be so popular. It also was very popular well before people were flying it hard. This happened because it was resonable to buy, easy to build and repair, and could fly well enough to satisfy the desire of most sport helicopter fliers. It opened helicopter flying up to many people. Most who would have never even considered owning a helicopter, before the Thunder Tiger Raptor hit the market.
This Raptor rave has shown the helicopter market is responsive to helicopters like the Raptor, and along these lines. The Raptor market has also been perpetual on it's own merit. It has been the most succesful helicopter made to date. You can't ever knock success.
