    Their website says "I am a heli enthusiast with a 3rd generation machine shop business" but there are plastic main and tail blade holders.  I found that odd.
    I also don't know if a support-less belt driven tail boom is something to brag about.

    I do like that the frame is wider than your typical 450, and maybe some 500/550 size frames, and the tail pitch mechanism looks interesting, but unless this helicopter is very inexpensive I'm sticking with my Beam E4 450 size.  The Beam E4 has aluminum everything in the box.

    There was another page that talked about the designer getting in trouble with sponsers for working on a competitors heli and they parted ways. Might be dead before it starts.

    I found it:
    http://www.sshelicopters.com/kyledahl.html

    Odd that there is no link to this page from their main (home) page.

    Yeah, I was going to add the link but could not remember how I found it, it's also odd that everyone there has the same first name.
