So...I would just build it...if you crash it, throw it away and buy a 500 clone and transfer the parts that didnt break over to it. Then as you crash and repair the 500...you can replace the parts with Align or higher end aftermarket and at some point end up with a super nice helicopter.
Thats probably what I will do.
I was into Monster Trucks for several years but fell away. Then my mom got me a cheapy coax as a gift and I caught the bug. I went and got a 450 clone right off the bat and crashed it several times without really learning anything. During a craigslist purchase of some replacement servos, the dude offered me this SJM 500 for a song. so I bought it, but then also bought an MCR and 120SR combo on fleabay to practice up before I do any more CP flying. Ive got a total heli experience of about 5 weeks, and I have 5 helis already
