Walked into DSE at Seven Hills today and saw these reduced down from $89 to $44.50 then down to $29. They had about 5 or 6 in stock. Bought one.
Rang Parramatta store and they said they have about 25 in stock and doing the same $29 price. So use the link and check store stock. Lots of store stock. Looks like it could be a clearance item everywhere.

    This is specific to this store. But I called up my local DSE and they were happy to do the same price… Your results may very… I've put 2 on hold (expecting to wreck one early) so I hope these are good…

    • Flyerone on 17/06/2013 - 15:03

      Yeah, it might not be all stores, but I did mention in the description that I rang Parramatta store who confirmed they were doing the same clearance deal. It looks like many stores have stock, just a matter of adding the question I guess.

      • hilarious on 17/06/2013 - 15:08

        yes I went there yesterday and can confirm that they're on sale for $29 and in stock

    • After Dark on 17/06/2013 - 15:17

      Saw some for 50% off the $60 marked price at Capalaba Central on Saturday

      • After Dark on 21/06/2013 - 16:53

        Now 75% off the price so for $15 has to be worth a try - 2 left at Capalaba

  • Roary on 17/06/2013 - 15:07

    Do these things have a camera where you can go and spy on your neighbors house?

    • hilarious on 17/06/2013 - 15:08

      no not that advance for this one :P

  • Shirty Grizzly on 17/06/2013 - 15:29

    Does anyone know if these are good or not? Looking at buying some but don't want crap haha.

      Its swann, you can bet its at least a bit crap.

  • zealmax on 17/06/2013 - 15:57

    Swann used to make nice 14.4kbps Modems.

      They probably still do too.

        It's still their best product.

  • daewoo on 17/06/2013 - 16:32

    DSE North Sydney has one remaining for ~$44.95 (reduced from $149 allegedly). They would not price match Seven Hills.

    For an outdoor RC helicopter, it was quite small and plasticy. It's more like a large indoor helicopter.

  • zealmax on 17/06/2013 - 16:55

    Only 2 remaining at Seven Hills.

  • aec on 17/06/2013 - 16:56

    So you can't add a camera like contour on this chop?

  • Macgyver on 17/06/2013 - 16:56

    Any good op ?

    • Flyerone on 17/06/2013 - 18:36

      Well by the time I got home, charged the thing, and started it, it was dark outside. I had a short go and boy has this thing got some power comapared to my other little RC heli. Nearly broke a couple of fingers trying to grab it before it hit something. There are a heap of fine tuning controls so I am looking forward to having a go in the daylight on the oval over the back. Despite it's plasticy appearance, it has a full metal chassis which seems pretty strong.

      For $29 I'm happy so far.

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 17/06/2013 - 17:38

    I saw these in Hornsby on Sunday but they were still $45 or so then…

    If they are any good I'll try to get one…

  • figarow on 17/06/2013 - 22:11

    specs?

    • Flyerone on 17/06/2013 - 22:49

      Added to OP

      • figarow on 17/06/2013 - 22:55

        Thanks but. …. I just checked out the site and the most important spec is missing. .how many channels is this?

        • Flyerone on 18/06/2013 - 07:50

          Dude its a $30 RC rotary (despite it's original rrp) . No multi channel here. It uses a "digital pairing system" which pairs the device to the controller when you turn it on and operate one of the sticks.

        • figarow on 19/06/2013 - 14:56

          4 Channel helis are cheap from china and i suspect $30 would be an Aussie on sale price from time to time so my question is valid. Seems ridiculous not to mention the channels in advert.

          Specs….

          Product Code : SE0068
          Battery info
          ? Battery Required Yes
          ? Battery Type Lithium-Polymer battery
          Connectivity info
          ? Infrared Sensor No
          Dimension info
          ? Packaged Weight (kg) 1.16

          I mean a spec list with battery info & weight?

  • Macgyver on 19/06/2013 - 14:51

    I decided to buy one yesterday. It was $22.50 not $29.

    Quite hard to fly at once but I think I'm slowing getting the hang of it. Heli feels quite well made an the controller feel quite cheapy but all heli controllers feel that way.

  • safetest100 on 20/06/2013 - 04:37

    Several stores still show this on store locator price is as above now $22.50 have bought 2 yesterday.

  • bluechan on 21/06/2013 - 13:13

    After the Box Hill Store reneged on the two I had put on order for $29. I've put 4 on hold at another store @ $22.50 each. Great gift for a friend's birthday this weekend. Has anyone found spare parts for these yet?

  • enderwa on 25/06/2013 - 02:27

    wish I saw this a week ago - now I can understand why a few have popped up on ebay (for twice the price).

    I want spare parts for these! My originally priced ($100) helicopter is rendered useless after the tail rotor stripped its plastic gearing (in-built design flaw - plastic cog meets metal cogs - short life span). It spins great at high speed now.

    I cant see any online stock shown for Perth but I'm very interested if there are actually any available within Perth stores.

  • Macgyver on 26/06/2013 - 20:24

    Any one else notice when you put power higher the heli starts to spin around in circles? It didn't do this at the start.

  • Macgyver on 01/07/2013 - 11:26

    I think the back motor is quite weak. Don't recommend attaching anything onto the heli and running full speed for very long.
