Who has the 411 on the Florian Schambeck EMAscale SLS units?

I'm thinking about throwing down on one of these and want to know what people's experiences are:

How much are they?
Who sells them in the US?
Reliability?

Much appreciated,

Mike

Mike -- Len and I spent a lot of time looking at all the Florian units in Germany last summer (I think his Shark also has one, so hopefully he'll weigh in soon). Everything they produce in their line are beautifully-engineered, excellent products. Etienne at ICARE imports for sure, Bob at SUSA may. I'd give a shot at contacting them and ordering direct if they would ship -- it's not a big package.

The PariTech Fan Air units are also very nice (298 or 498 Euros). Leave a slightly larger hole in the fuselage top, but nicely engineered. http://www.fan-air.de/

Thanks Steve. I have a message into Etienne and will hopefully hear back soon.

Mike,
I have one of those units on my Shark as Steve says. I'm very happy with it and think its a great way to go, The unit is very powerful, A+++

I run 10s 4000 ( 2 5cell 4000) and get 8, 1 min runs, which will get me to about 1000 ft or more.

Thanks Len. Do you have the 1200, 1400 or 1600 on your Shark?

[Len]

hmmm, not sure.

Gonna have to look,

The trigger has been pulled thanks to Etienne at ICARE and a 1400 is on its way from the Father Land!

Len,

Can you please share some info on your battery pack for the SLS? I bought the YGE controller recommended by Florian.

Thanks,

Beefed up the top of the Ventus fuselage yesterday for the new SLS before cracking the mold. Fuselage came out great. Can't wait to get that bad boy!
