I do hope it';s not sold as ';ready to fly'; in the same way the phantoms are.

I was thinking that - it would be laughable trying to use the same molded plastic on a proper multirotor like this.

That';s a vain hope .... of course it';ll be RTF ... everything is nowadays to satisfy the ';I want it now and don';t want to put any effort in'; brigade

Wonder if they will restructure the price on the s800 whdn the s1000 rocks up ?

I hope they do drop the price on the s800 evo... I';m after one!   I';m guessing sales have slowed down as people like me are expecting a drop soon due to the s1000 release.

Looks really nice, but I dread to think of what the price will be.

Its probably in the league of "If you have to ask ...."

A lovely design though. Looks very well thought out.
