Comment by umberto marchi on December 13, 2011 at 12:35pm Great model!! When and where can i order it?

That is cool, just not looking forward to the huge shipping cost :(
Comment by Ellison Chan on December 13, 2011 at 12:39pm Pretty sweet. How much does the airframe weigh, without batteries and motor?
Comment by Martin on December 13, 2011 at 1:00pm Very nice. What price are we looking at?

I don't have much information yet. But I don't think the shipping costs will be much more than the Skywalker 168. Around 35-40 usd.
If the final version will be black or white foam I have no idea.
I'm Just looking forward for a platform special made for our hobby. If it was made out of composite some would say this a pro UAV platform.
Now the new purple Autopilot is soon out on the street I bet it will fit nicely inside this black bird. I can't wait. The old lazy Skywalker will be retired in my hangar.
