ORIGINAL: Mr Cox

I have tried it and will not do it again. Waiting a month for junk is not worth it and if you pay all fees, as you should, you don't even get it cheap.
You only wait a month if you opt for budget shipping..

I use EMS and things arrive in 3 days..

I put in an order last monday and it arrived yesterday morning (Thursday) Even with the more expensive shipping the overall cost is 30% of what I'd pay in a local hobbyshop..

This Helicopter kit cost me $10... 4 Servos cost $30... Gyro $12. ESC $25.. Battery $12

All up this heli cost me under $100 and it flies like a dream.. over 500 flights on it now and it just keeps going...

Not junk at all.. great value!
