Good point re: the $140 net for the Hawk IV with the Gyro Special.
I would add the $22.00 CNBB1001 bearing upgrade to that and net about the same ($162) but now have one of the most precision control systems on the market today. The bearing UG will do a lot more for the heli then will the newer looking canopy.
As for the gyro, we have a couple of guys flying 3D with theirs now that I have properly set up their throttle.pitch curves and cyclic/throttle mixes to keep a relatively constant head speed (required with even a HH system) and their revo mix.

Their low pricing misleads a lot of people. Because of it, many do not realize that they are as good as or better then any competitors. e.g. I would buy the Hawk IV with the bearing upgrade before a Sceado 30, Venture 30 or Caliber 30 even if the Hawk was the same high price as they are.
Maybe Century should consider a slightly (10%) higher price so that they would have more money to spend sponsoring pilots, promoting their product and developing other product sooner (e.g. a Falcon 60). This would benefit all of us as it would probably get more buyer awareness and more brand acceptance. This would consequently benefit us all more in the long term. They would still be the best value but they would probably be much better known and accepted.
