how about numbering the tools from Most needed to just nice to have.
i added up everything i could possibly think of for tools and its a good $200 for just tools!
add in a gyro and a heli and other stuff and its like 850!!!! hmmm
i guess this hobby isn't cheap! man if i dont get a job some were this is all calculations and time a wasted
looks like im going to need to go for less stuff if i plan to get this project anywere near going

is there anywere i can cut cost? the gyro is either $200 for the gy401/digy or $100 for the gy240 basicly its a 100/100 gyro and digy which i can move in to the next heli as with all the tools
i guess what would be nice is a list of the bare minimum that i would need to assemble ballance a heli, i have the general plank stuff so its the "heli only" things ill be needing
