0Its probably a scam (too good to be true ) but with ebays money back policy its worth a shot. There were over 10 when i bought one last night now only 3.

BNF version,without G-2D gimbal,RX703 receiver,transmitter,battery,charger or other configuration... that's why it's so cheap
@DJMajickMan
Yea i know.....but thats still cheap for what it is correct?
Reciever is $40 battery is $30-40. I have plenty of chargers and a devo tx already. So i could be flying it for less than $200
@nltownsend843 Hell yeah thats cheap. $49!?! Thats the cost of a battery. This is tempting to get just for spare parts. If its for reals. edit: Just noticed its actually $98 with shipping. That takes it out of impulse buy land for me.
@nltownsend843 Yeah that's what I'm thinking as well. I got batteries, charger, and the f12e with rx705 receiver so I should be flying in to time. I think I need a xt60-butt connector and I'm set to fly if all I need to do is bind and fly (BNF). I'm looking for the adapter now
@nltownsend843 this is what I'm thinking of getting. Anyone have a better idea or cheaper idea to reuse our phantom battery with the walkera? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MALE-XT60-TO-HXT-3-5mm-BATTERY-ADAPTER-use-XT60-Batteries-in-Walkera-QR-Range-/261892342280?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cfa000208
Let us know how it comes out. $49 for a shell with ESC's and motor's wouldn't be bad I'm wondering if the "other configuration..." means the power distribution board and everything else.
@DJMajickMan
Yeah im a bit worried about "other configuration" too.
But under that it says package includes. ...

Too good to pass up so I bought one. I was thinking about getting a phantom 2 case for our meh.com phantom, but that's $70. Maybe I can put the phantom 1.1.1 in the walkera case if I crash it to bits and pieces.
@garyhgaryh good idea.
@DJMajickMan Also for the bigger battery bay.
@garyhgaryh Holy crap, that's inspired! How much fun would that be? "The new Walkera Phantom. Get yours today!"
@garyhgaryh
I have had this exact thought....infact ive had a walkera body in my ebay for a week. (Fyi you can get a walkera body for $29).
I want to try it so it'll fit the bigger battery.
@ruouttaurmind lol.. yeah I was wondering what happened to you! I figured you would buy it in a heart beat.
@garyhgaryh $27.50: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181699779704
@garyhgaryh So I'm thinking... for this little 250 class project... maybe I will piece together my own kit... built around that body shell. Use the CC3D FC, CC3D power distro board, SimonK 20A ESC's, but step up to 2212 980K motors and a 5200mAh battery.
@ruouttaurmind Wouldn't it be sluggish? Did you order the 250 kit yet? Mine shipped last night.
@ruouttaurmind That is a good price for the body. A good alternative to the p2 body, but isn't the plastic more lightweight and thus more fragile on the walkera? It's funny my wife just had a discussion about my hobbies. I hope she does not see the 250 kit and this walkera. I need to spend less time on my hobbies and more time with my family (wife/daughter).
@garyhgaryh Because I would upgrade to 2212 980K motors, I would expect the performance to be equal to, possibly a bit stronger than the Phantom. Dunno yet... still kicking it around. I haven't ordered the 250 kit yet. I had to work pretty late last night and didn't get to do enough research on the various kit configurations, and CC3D FC compatibility with various radios. I wasn't able to make an informed decision so I chose to wait until tonight when I can give it my full attention.
@garyhgaryh RE: Wife and youngun... by all means man. Shower them with your affection and attention! :-)
@garyhgaryh RE: Structural integrity of Walkera fuselage... I haven't seen a QR model in person. I can tell you though, the Tali fuselage is at least as sturdy, if not perhaps even a bit thicker and heavier than the Phantom. Now the Cheerson on the other hand... it's definitely not in the same class as the Phantom or Tali.
Seller only has one negative review and it's minor: "CATTOYS Shield Paint Comes Right Off. Seller Very Difficult to Deal With." I hope this deal turns out better than my gimbal non existent 3-axis gimbal deal from xsource.
Yeah with the protection of ebay and paypal its worth a gamble. I suspect it will turn out like the phantom2 vision i ordered for $220 and the $13 sj4000......ebay pulled the listings and gave my money back.
@nltownsend843 Their feedback is overall positivie. I just emailed them and asked about the "other configuration" and asked if I wanted to fly it all I need is remote and it's receiver, battery, and charger. I'll let you know what their reply.
@garyhgaryh i also have a email in to them
All sold out!
Dang it! I was in meetings all morning and didn't see this until the deal was done. It would have been well worth the hunnert bucks just for parts!
Well i just got the email from ebay.....the listing has been removed. So that means it wont be showing up, ill give it a few days and file a claim.
@nltownsend843 I had that happen once before on a PS4 system. eBay pulled the listing and immediately cancelled all sales, reversing the PayPal transaction. Hopefully they'll be on the ball in this case.
@ruouttaurmind
Yeah its happened to me three times in the past month lol
Yeah I got the email as well. When I got it last time, there was a fraudulent seller and I got my money back. This is the email: Hello garyh,
We're writing to let you know that we've removed an item you recently won:
201358898284 - Walkera QR X350 Pro FPV GPS RC Quadcopter BNF For Gopro 3 Drone multicopter
Since you've already paid for the item, you don't need to do anything else. If your item hasn't arrived yet, it should arrive soon. If it doesn't, then you'll want to open a case in our Resolution Center. You can learn how to do this, plus find timelines for opening cases, at:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/item-not-received.html
Here's the reason: This user is no longer registered on eBay.
so they either removed him or he removed himself. ======
Feedback can be left only for registered members. A member might not be registered because the member's account was suspended or because the member decided to close the account. However, the item will stay on My eBay for 60 days. If the member's account is reinstated or if the member cancels the account closure, you can leave Feedback then. =====
Knew it was too good to be true.
So what are you guys doing about your order? Are you cancelling it? Filing a dispute? Or waiting it out to see if they will ship to you?
I'm contemplating filing a dispute or cancelling it. Not sure if cancelling will go the way I want it if the user is suspended (I may have to wait a few weeks).
@garyhgaryh
Its been my experience when ebay sends me that email they automatically fefund the full amount in a couple days without having to ask.
@nltownsend843 In their email they said to wait (to see if it ships to you). I'll on the verge of filing a dispute but I an wait a few days to see what happens.. I checked my paypal account and have not been refunded.
@garyhgaryh
Yeah mine always says the same thing. You can do the "didn't receive item" and the first will be to contact the seller, just ask if its shipped, then you'll probably get a email from eBay showing the refund.
@nltownsend843 I decided to ask for a refund and within 5-10 minutes I got a decision: "Good news! We issued you a full refund of $99.98 on May 29, 2015. The refund includes the purchase price plus original shipping and has been credited to your PayPal account. Please log in to PayPal and view the History page if you don't see it in your PayPal balance." === I would suggest you do that or wait a month and see if you get it.. If you do get it, I'll be kicking myself in the butt!
@garyhgaryh
Thats what i was trying to say, as soon as you get anything started ebay almost instantly refunds it.
its highly unlikely it will ever show up, but whenever i tie up some money on a "maybe" i make sure i have it to spare for a while. So ill probably let it ride for a week or so.
@nltownsend843 the user is no longer registered or suspended from ebay. There is no way he can update you on the progress of your order and I'm assuming s/he doesn't care. That's why I decided to go for the refund because I lose track of my money. I've had two bank accounts go dormant status in the last 6 months (was opening a bunch of accounts for the special one time deposit of $XXX amount type deal" that I lost track of my accounts.
@garyhgaryh depositting you stripper money in private accounts so the wife doesn't see smart move.
@DJMajickMan haha... actually my drone fund... :)
