| I think it's really because the helicopter is a total wild card. No one new how well this little helicopter performed. I'm telling you it was a shock when I flew the first time. I think the kits are going to move off the shelves overnight.

I remember when I bought a "wild card" heli and showed up at the field. All the heli guys assured me I made the biggest mistake, they complained about the ugly canopy, they told me parts support would be a nightmare, and that real helis are not made of plastic...
...needless to say, every one of those pilots ended up with a "wild card" heli just like mine. As a matter of fact, they have stayed with the "wild card" line up to this day...
Yep, the raptor 30v1 sure was a wild card, but it stood the r/c heli industry on its head!
The Cypher 3D has nothing to worry about if the supply can keep up with the demand. A good product will sell itself. The Cypher offers a fantastic value with great flying characteristics.
By the way, if Ron Lund at Heliproz South stocks parts and kits, I'd say the Cypher 3D has the best support any heli can possibly have.

But even with these annoying restrictions the cypher impressed everyone including me. It was sliding on the floor. The pilot constantly slammed the helicopter hard on the ground and nothing ever broke. I don't think you could do that with any other chopper with out any mods. O ya and the rolls and flips were very nice as well.
I was pleased to find it an arf?? Cause for some reason I thought it was a kit. I went through the heli and found that some screws were not properly set. I already installed the ds285 jr servos for cyclic and to awnser my own question, they fit perfectly. I had a little trouble installing the futaba tail servo but I got it in with a little thinking. So far I like the looks and the design of this helicopter, I cant wait to get it up in the air.
. I also set some - expos in normal mode just in case I find this heli difficult to hover.
