RE: MPX space scooter-worth buying???
I run the space scooter w/ a brushless setup and it's flies nice.. set it up with landing gear for skis or wheels.. it's a nice flyer.. I also took the dihedral out of the wings to make it aerobatic and stable for inverted flight and knife-edge.. the kit is only 57 bucks.. thats the way I'd go.. put your own gear in it..
good luck
