I have been of the r/c scene for about a year now (offroad gas) and am planning to get back in with a Lite Machines heli. I have always wanted a heli, and after much research it is apparent that this would be the ideal beginner helicopter due to its low price and great durability, right? I have a few questions though. Is the 117 worth the price difference over the 117? It only claims a larger/quieter engine but would this be helpful/harmful to a complete beginner like myself? Also- Does the Complete starter kit include EVERYTHING I need to get started minus fuel? On the LMH website, it shows that it comes with glo starter, radio, heli w/engine, access, starter, etc so I assume so??

Also- Where can i purchase one of these for fairly cheap online? Or would i be better purchasing used off ebay since it will get pretty beat-up anyways?? Do they come built, and if not, is it hard to build? Any other helis I should consider in this price range?? I realize this one isnt very adjustable but when more adjustability is needed, I would probably sell it and purchase something larger/better

thanks for your time and suggestions/comments

Mike-
