Pretty cool! Looks like the 200 class is going to have a few players. It sounds like they are shipping now. Is that right or am I reading it wrong?

If my eyes are correct, it looks like free shipping on all pre orders. (This is no way, form or fashion considered an endorsement from me). I am cheap and I like GOOD CHEAP stuff..

I would only buy one if there is a US distributor. Parts availability might be a pain if there isnt.

Hi Guys,
The Vegas address has nothing heli related there and is just the corporate address. The heli stuff is all in sunny (hot and humid) San Diego. If you want to come check the beastie out along with our other heli's, drop on by the flying field next door to the Vista court house off of the 78 fwy in N. SD County. Our pilots are there every evening and at least one day on the weekend.

We just gave the SJM180(215) its first test flight about 8 hours ago as the sun went down. It was very solid and did well with almost no adjustments needed. In the morning, we will bump up the pinion from the stock 12T to a 13T and see what she can do.

Here is a video if the maiden flight: http://www.sjmrc.us/videos/sjm180_082908.wmv

Nothing crazy just yet, but give us a few more flights to complete our testing…

Regards,
Scott
