DEAL 3 - The Interceptor 400 (Without the Alien Command Auto Pilot)

This is the mid range deal I offer, which provides an excellent value for money way to get into flying RC helicopters.

This helicopter is one that you will not grow out of, but will keep flying it long after you have learned how to fly...

The price below includes the following items :

1 off Interceptor 400 helicopter complete. This helicopter has a very strong but lightweight aluminium frame for additional strength.  When configured correctly, it is fully capable of all aerobatics including what we call full 3D manoeuvres.

1 off 3100 KV brushless motor
1 off BYD 2200 Mah 20C Lipo battery
4 off ACER-LAB A8-SG servos
1 Pair wood main rotor blades
1 Pair nylon tail blades
1 off Acer Labs 40 Amp Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) with programming card

Interceptor 400 WITHOUT Alien Command as detailed above - £147.00

The following will be required unless you already have them :

Gyro
I suggest the following item, which is the one normally fitted to the INT400

1 off Acer Labs G1000 Gyro (+£27 - you may choose a different gyro if you wish)
    
NB - Without a gyro, I will not be able to test fly this helicopter.

TOTAL COST for Interceptor 400 with G1000 gyro - Ready built, setup & flight tested - £174.00

BUILD FEE - £40
TOTAL COST - £214

Additional optional items

4 off Acer Labs D12MG metal geared servos (stronger than the standard servos) + £34
1 off Aluminium style case with foam insert to fit 450 size heli, discrete Helivol Logo on outside + £40

1 off Spektrum DX7 2.4 GHz Radio + AR7000 Radio Receiver. + £250
1 off BYD 2200MAh 20C lipo + £20

If you want a better (painted fibreglass) canopy at only £11.00 - Please click here and order separately

If you want to use even larger or more powerful Lipos, you can go up to the RapidCharge 2200Mah 25C at +£19.00 or even more powerful RapidCharge 2200MAh 35C at +£26.00.  

NB - Using these larger RapidCharge lipo batteries means the standard Interceptor canopy can NOT be used, you will need to obtain a Trex 450 or CopterX style Canopy of your own choosing to use either of these lipos. The lipo is mounted under the main frame at the front.

Providing you purchase a gyro, the helicopter will be fully built correctly, then correctly setup to ensure it will fly as best as possible and it will then be test flown to ensure that the gyro is setup, & the pitch range will be set to be optimal for a learner pilot.

If you purchase a radio system, it will be preconfigured for you, and setup to make it as easy as possible to fly when learning. 

TOTAL COST 

£214 + £15.00 shipping (Fully built & flight tested, but without any radio system)

£229.00

If you feel that you want any special parts, such as an improved ESC or better tail gyro, or indeed anything else, I can both supply and fit these parts for you at no additional labour charge if specified when the helicopter is ordered.  Their original cost will be deducted and the cost of the requested items added.

Doing so will NOT INVOLVE ANY EXTRA CHARGE AT ALL other than the additional cost of the other parts you want me to fit.
       

                   
Included in this price are all of the following extra CHOPPERADDICT benefits.

1 - I will provide you with FREE and unlimited ongoing support, which includes totally labour free repairs and I can also provide low cost rebuild/setups if you are unlucky enough to crash it. All you will have to pay for a repair (only) is the parts required + P&P, and of course shipping of the helicopter in both directions, which is typically around £10-£12 each way.  If you want the helicopter fully setup to suit your level of proficiency and then test flown, add £20 for this.  I can also provide full radio setups of computerised radios such as Spektrum, Futaba & others to suite your level of proficiency for an additional £20.

2 - I will offer you totally FREE, 1-on-1 flight training using the Phoenix flight simulator to help you get started. 

3 - If you really want to learn all about your helicopter and how to set it up and repair it properly, I can offer you a full days "Master Class" alone with me in my "hanger" here in Blackpool, during which time I will show you everything you want to know about building, repairing and setting up helicopters.  I do make a small charge of £35 per day for this training, which includes a sandwich lunch and of course tea/coffee.

4 - If you really want to learn to hover your helicopter as rapidly as possible, I can offer you a full days "Master Class" alone with me here in Blackpool, during which time I will check the set up of your helicopter, and then we go off out to one of the various flying site I have available and get you hovering. If you have the stock Esky radio system, I do have a trainer lead that we can use so I can recover your heli if you happen to do something really dumb....
