With a heli that size I'll need to wait a day between flights. Fly it, cat grabs it, wait, sift through cat pan, fly again.

LOL that's funny.

Did you see the movies of it flying on their website?

A complete unit with all electrics and radio may sell on the streets in the 400ish range. The heli by itself would sell for less and should include a battery and charger as well like the XRB's do when sold by themselves.

We are still finalizing release info on our end for this new heli.

Look for US release info from us soon.

I want one of those, that's cool, plus, that's gotta be the best looking Hirobo canopy yet! I also love the warnings at the bottom of the page, they really need a "no fat chicks" one to complete the series.

IF all goes well, it'll be there and maybe in CA for the AMA show.

More details to come.

Why didn't they do a collective pitch instead of fixed pitch?

At least they didn't include the line about how the heli should not be operated by menstrating women!!!

Still think thats the weirdest thing ever...

And yeah! Why no collective! Oh well.. still pretty cool

This hobby is like Kryptonite to chicks!

If the "collective" response is anything like that of the twin rotor XRB, the absence of true collective pitch should be of little concern, at least when flown indoors.

I hope the model can fly a little bit faster forward than the XRB contra and perhaps with a little less pitch/roll interaction.

That's idea for the SRB design, to fly more like a "conventional" model. If you watch the movies at Hirobo's site, the first one is outdoors and it is scooting along pretty good.

I got the same impression from the prototype sample. Looking forward to seeing an actual production model sometime this month.

Other than having the ability to fly inverted, the fixed pitch response was fine so no real need for collective pitch. Kept very simple. There are two motors on board so one brushless motor goes straight to the rotor head and the other inrunner motor drives the tail via a shaft drive.

pretty neat.

I like that line. . Showed people read the manual. LOL

Yep- except with a movable swash. The head stabilization is the same, though. I'm just surprised that no one is squawking about the chic catching the thing in one of the videos...

Going through them, here's my interpretation:

Hello Kitty is not allowed to fly
No Babies
Don't fly while sitting at the kitchen table
Don't light it on fire or put it in the toaster
Don't fly while being electrocuted or while bleeding
Don't live near power lines or stop your car on railroad tracks
Don't smack your bitch up
Real men don't use tools to fix things, they use Duct Tape
Do not stain dresses (I censored this one, it's kinda dirty)
Snowmen are not allowed to fly while drunk in a thunderstorm.
Don't look like a douche fratboy while flying.


Those are just my guesses. Those Japanese sure are wacky.
