mmm...not sure about $1500 + shipping from Germany for it though. That is the sexiest canopy I've ever seen though.
Oh wow! I wish my transmitter said "Touch Your Dreams!"
Dont forget that those prices include local taxes (Mehrwertsteuer abbr MwSt) and would be removed for export prices. I believe the current rate is 16%.

Heli Pro is releasing a new heli soon. It will feature 500 to 620 blades. It was tested with 620 blades ,a 90 drive train (10s) AUW is 3.16kg. So I expect this thing to be ballistic! The pic shows a prototype shown on the rc fair in Dortmund
Edit: i uploaded the 2nd photo accidentially!

The price is in Euros. Due to the weak dollar that heli will cost $1,700 US, $2,212 US, or $2,212 US depending on which one you get It is an awesome looking heli though.

Actually the Revolution 90 has been around a few years. I had one in '06 and it was a fantastic heli. RTF (minus fuel) it weighed less than 10 lbs. At the time that I had mine, there was no US Distributor. Since there was little support for the Revolution at that time, I was nervous to fly it. Heliworld-USA is the US distributor now.
The tail control used on the Revolution is still one of the best designs, IMO. This is one heli that I wish I still had.

Just to let you know-TZ has just made a cheap and ugly copy of it. Helipro has the Original Airframe design.
