Hi Monkey,

Not sure the price yet. I think it will be cheaper than Zap400 V1. Did u see the gear meshing? It is bevel gear which is better than Zap V1 (crown gear meshing).

Have to wait for test flight, then can tell u its flight performance.

will it be available as a kit? (w/o electronics)

[MicroHeli-Nut]

more importantly is whether the gears are held by set screw collar or not...

Hi, I was at the Shanghai Expo last week. Have checked and tested the KING and COOL. Both are very stable. They are still under heavy development and testing, and would only be available in, probably July. Price is not available yet.

Personally, I find KING's main frame alittle small and frail for its weight. You literally have to cramp all the electronics in the front. I would rather go for the COOL, which comes standard with 1500mAh batt. And I'm sure you'll have no prob fitting a 2200mAh onboard!

What do you guys think?

I want COOL

[Syphonics]

is it possible to get the heli alone without the tx?

Honchung,
You are giving me serious nose-bleed problems... I'm a serious fan of shaft-driven systems if u get my drift...

[honchung]

Definitely both King and Cool will be available in kit only sets. But... Esky is reputed for quality and value for money RTF complete sets... The thing is, King is similar to MS Hornet while Cool, Trex. If you would like to get the kit only, wouldn't it be better to get MS Hornet or Trex instead, since they have longer history, and have abundant of upgrade parts available?

I would guess that the King and Cool kit price would be about 20% cheaper than Hornet and Cool respectively. Frankly, I don't think this cheaper price would justify, considering that the components and radio would chalk up most of the additional cost. What do you guys think?

And with regards to King and Cool... King or Cool? Which would you prefer?

Regards,
