Hello Tanksboard,

You pose an interesting question. It's hard to say if that's a good deal or not without knowing more about the condition of the heli and the components included (engine, servos, gyro, blades). The bent boom could indicate a major crash or minor hangar incident. A major crash could mean there is a lot of other stuff wrong with the Heli, or it might be fine. If you haven't done so already, my advice would be to contact your local RC club and seek our an experienced heli mentor to help you get started.

If you have RC flying experience a used heli may be a great way to start. If you don't have RC flying experience, I'd recommend a very different starting path.

my two cents :-)
