Get a look at it HERE

I'm sure you'll have time to save up for it. I'm still waiting to see the Vertol that was supposed to be released LAST summer....

Vertol

You and me Mark!! I had an order for one and cancelled it after 4 months! Was told by email from Germany that they were consentrating more on the Turbine stuff then maybe they will get it out next year when they have time.

Yeah, so like I said, you'll probably have lots of time to save for a Colibri based on the trend we've seen so far....

Well, I feel better... I was beginning to think no one cared.

I REALLY do like the Colibri, even though it's a Fenestron tail. I just love it. I have a paint scheme all picked out and it will be a looker for sure. And if anyone is watching... yes I'll paint it myself AND design my own decals, thank you.

I wonder what size it is? It looks pretty big from the pic but it's kinda hard to tell as there's nothing close enough to reference against. I'd like to go with a 91 glow or petrol and I hope that is the class this machine is designed around.

Anyone want to guess a price??? I bet they're pretty proud of it. Anyone want a Breitling Hughes 500E?

I thought taping out my Hughes was a bitch... could you imagine taping/painting that scheme?

Mark, did they have a mockup body of the Vertol a year ago? Just wondering about the lead time...

In Vario CD?.. when did that happened.?

I have the vario info CD.. only with EC-135 not the EC-120... unless something new I don't know of? , Mark you could be mistaken the EC-135 as the EC-120.. the white one in the background is the EC-135.. That's what they have in the video CD I got.

He was reffering to the Vertol flying, not the EC120. The Vertol is on the cd. All the fuses are made for this, just the machining for the mechanics is left to be finished.

I like the 120 and the 135 I personeally love the look of a fenestron tail.

What does it cost to build one of those? Full kit and mechanics with 4 blade head, less engine and electronics.

Hey Joe,

You mentioned the Fuse was $570.00, is that the EC135 or the EC120? As you posted the 4 blade head I assume you mean the 135.

If that is correct, do you think the 120 will be around the same price? Hopefully less?

thanks,


PS_ Still waiting for those 500 pics.

Another question for Joseph:

I called your store and was told the EC-120 is suppose to be a secret!!!! They wouldn't give me a price and said they don't know when this kit will be out. Do you have any ideas, dates, pricing, what will be in the kit, etc????

I hope it's soon, I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Yes, the kit is a secret, don't tell anyone about it. The above pricing is for the 135.
