hoverfly (how much?)

While I have been waiting impatiently for the Snelflight online store to come back online, today's the day according to their site, I have been looking at other sites and found quite a large difference in price. The Snelflight homepage says, "Ready to fly from $63.15*"(converted to US dollars) but other sites I have been to, Helihobby.com, RcHelisPlus.com, and RcSuperstore.co.uk have the Hoverfly listed for $269.00, $199.99, and $240.20*(converted to $) respectively.

Did I misread the Snelflight page? Does the Hoverfly really cost ~$200 or are the other sites way over priced?

thanks in advance,

WD

Re: hoverfly (how much?)

If it really is $200+ that is what I plan to do but if I'm reading the Snelflight site correctly and it's about $60 then I would prefer to buy the Hoverfly to build my confidence before moving on to a real heli.

It is the cheaper ~$63 price as far as I know. But that doesn't come with a transmitter or adaptor. Maybe those other sites are selling it with a transmitter??

Edit: Just looked, it is still that much with no tx... those $200+ prices seem pretty steep.
