According to the US dealer's last note he still has a few units unspoken for.  200 units was supposed to be his initial order, so that's not bad.  Cost, here in US is 370.00 including shipping.  Most recent review posted was by  Josh & Josh.  See their take on it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVlNSsumT6M&feature=player_embedded

Superb models - not just for FPVers but for all RC beginners I'd say.

UK pre-orders being taken now at www.spyhawk.co.uk (by FirstPersonView.co.uk).

The first of the RCModelReviews three-part review of the SpyHawk is up, covering the build process:

 

Parts 2 and 3 will do a teardown of the electronics and check out the innards of the control unit etc.

Part 2 here:

 

It uses an internal biquad antenna for video reception by the looks of it. The left (?) rubber ducky antenna on the outside of the controller is unused in the final product.

@Helldesk.  I took the liberty of editing your posts to "embed" Bruce's reviews. Bruce should be "embeded' here :). I love Bruce reviews.  I hope it is ok with you.

By all means. :)

Here's the final Part 3 of his review of the Hubsan SpyHawk:

The sense I got was that it is a decent entry into FPV for someone who hasn't flown models before (it's an extremely stable flyer) and an ambitious product that does have room for improvement. The video screen is small and hard to see if it's a very bright day, and you have to keep the radio pointed at the plane to avoid loss of video. It might be a cost-effective solution if you don't feel like paying an equivalent amount of money for video goggles alone (not to mention everything else you would need for FPV).

Watch the review and decide for yourself!

Is there any way to boost the signal for better range?
